In short, my 10g ram biotope sprung a leak, the rams died shortly after moving them, and i have 3 nearly full size glofish as a result of breeding 2 store bought ones.
I'm down to the one 55g tank now. Inside lives: My Pleco, 5 glofish (pic is of the babies that are now full grown), 5 clown loaches (~4"), and one lone angel.
I transfered all of the plants from my ram tank into the 55g. I checked the water params today (after forgetting to change the water for weeks).
dkH: 8
dgH: 12
NO3: 50-60ppm
NH3/4: 0ppm!!
I was suprised about the 0ppm of ammonia to be honest. I guess those bacteria are really doing there job.
My concern is the rather high nitrates. I know that the plants will enjoy the higher nitrate levels, but is 60ppm a level of concern for my fishes well being?
Thanks
