Aquarium Advice Apprentice
10 gallon w/ 2 male guppies, 2 female guppies, & 2 1mo. old fry
Had 2 more female who recently passed 1 giving birth, the other maybe stress? Not sure, only had it a day and a half...
I saw what looks like a spot on the babies fin so I slowly cranked the heat to 87 over the past 2 days. I vacuumed the gravel Friday and took out about 8 quarts of water. Monday I did a 4 quart WC. Today I tested the water with an api master kit and my readings are: N3- 5 No2- 0 amm. .25 pH 6 So I know ammonia is bad, and shouldn't my pH be higher? How do I fix it? Do you think I'm not moving enough gravel around when I vacuum or maybe I should do bigger wc's?
