Hi there,
So this is an issue with a 60lts tank. Dimensions 61 x 31 x 37 cm.
Have had this one for almost 6 weeks now since it was upsized from a 20lts tank. I had used all the gravel, bio and ceramic media and plants as well from the 20lt and put it in the 60lt so it helps in cycling it better.
In the tank I have 8 guppies, 1 pleco and have had fry recently so have 10-15 fry as well. Its been 5-6 days my guppies are getting sluggish and coming up to one top corner of the tank and just stay there. The water tests are all good will add in more info on that tomorrow once I can do another one but they were doing great until now. One of the problems I have recognised is over feeding as one of the guppy is going vertical and as I can see it has got a disease now which I am trying to overcome with restrictive feeding(once in 2 days).
Now, I recently got in a second hand 350lts (dimensions 14.5m x 5.5m x 4.5m) tank which has been set up and going on for almost a week now. I have 3 neon tetras in there thats it. The water tests for it are normal but not the best. I am using Seachem Stability everyday to help with the cycling, will do my first 25% water change tomorrow. My question is, should I move in my 4 male guppies in that tank so they recover to start with? Can I also slowly introduce the fry in it as well because they are increasing in number? Also how can I help the fish to overcome the overfeeding disease?
apologies for the big thread, really appreciate the help.
