We set up our 20G tank over a month ago. Water was testing fine so we bought 3 black skirt tetras, and a dwarf frog 6 days ago. We picked up a snail 2 days ago.
We have been getting amonia readings of 0.5 to 1 the last few days. Our PH has always been high and we were told by pet smart that it should be fine. I feel leary of this. Anyways did a 50 percent water change and vacuumed the gravel 4 days ago. The amonia reading was better but yesterday i was getting a reading of 0.5 to 1. I know I need to give the tank a bit of time to cycle the new water. Not sure what to do from here. Any help would be great!
