Hi!

Hi, my name is Sydney and I got my first tank about 3 months ago. I currently have a 10 gallon tank but i plan on moving everyone to a new 20 gallon tank by then end of the week (i just need to finish making the tank stand). I have 5 mollies, one male 4 female, 5 ghost shrimp and a zebra snail. Which i know is a bit much for a 10 gal but like a said i will be moving them soon. I've had a bit of trouble with fungus and one of my mollies had external parasites but i think i final got everything under control. I do weekly water changes with a gravel vacuum. I fed them once a day at night with many different foods. Frozen brine shrimp, dried fresh water shrimp, fresh veggies, tropical flakes and granules and the occasional algae round.

All those foods in one night isn't the best thing. Also you have the 20 gallon cycled right? And gravel vacumming isn't necessary, only weekly water changes is necessary.

I don't feed all of these in one night, only one. I rotate them in and out though for variety. Yes my 20 gal has been cycling for three and a half weeks now.

kk, just making sure, you know the parameters? if so what are they just to double check?

PH- 6.5 to 8.2
Ammonia- 0.0 to. 25mg/L
Nitrite- 0.0 to .25mg/L
Nitrate- 0 to 40mg/L

that's... a very wide range of options, all of those but nitrate and ph should be 0ppm. not in-between.
