So a bit of a catastrophe happened. A week ago I got a new panda platy and put it in my 10 gal cycled tank. The tank had 1 MM platy, 1 sunset platy and a mystery snail. Tuesday night I noticed the Panda was covered in white spots. On a recommend from LFS I got QuickCure, a separate home for...

Same readings this morning. ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate: 10

Ok I got my kit and tested the water: ammonia: 0 ppm nitrite: 0 ppm nitrate: 10 ppm This is with 1 MM platy that was put into the tank yesterday morning. I also added 1/2 botttle of the Tetra Safestart. Do I need to do anything at this point or see what the water tests at tomorrow...

Yeah I read that about the Platys. I was going to get all female, but since they are housed in the same tank as the males I'm going to go all males. Don't need to deal with surprised babies. :)
