Hi all! Thanks to this forum, I’ve had a healthy aquarium for many months…Until now.
I’ve noticed in the last couple of days, my guppies are hanging at the top level of my tank. I know I am overstocked for a 10 gallon tank and will bring some to the LFS for some credit.
So here’s my question: Are they hanging at the top because of the lack of oxygen or too much ammonia? I’ve noticed a slight increase in ammonia as you can see in my numbers.
Here are my numbers:
10 gallons
79 degrees
NH3/NH4 = .25
NO2 = 0
NO3 = 0
Ph=7.6
High Ph=7.4
I have changed the ½ the water for the last couple of days. I lost a neon this morningL. I’ve removed the charcoal, added pima/melafix, raising the temp a bit at a time.
Thanks for the help!
