Since moving my fish into a (fully cycled) larger tank and adding a few others I've been struggling feeding the right amount. I've also been adding more blodworm etc in hope it'l encourage my my new gold nugget to feed. I may be guilty of over feeding.
I did a test today (after feeding) and found 0.1 nitrite. perviously there was 0 nitrite reading.
I can't do an urgent water change as I use RO water and cant get any until wednesday. as the nitrite is fairly low will I be ok to just miss a few days feeding?
would anyone recommend cleaning the (external) filter although surely this risks killing bacteria?
for information the stats are as follows:
260l tank, fluval 305 external filter
2 angels, 4 ghost cats, 1 small BGK, 9 young rainbows, 1 gold nugget plec, 1 small peacock eel, 1 tiny albino bristlenose, 1 ram.
any suggestions on feeding, quantities etc?
