- Tank: 10 gallon
Filter: Fluval Aquaclear 30
Heater: Cobalt 25w NeoTherm
Substrate: Gravel
Latest parameters:
pH: 6.6
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 15
Ammonia 4
(I have been having major ammonia issues probably from being overstocked - doing water changes and using Prime). Fish seem unaffected - the cories are laying eggs like crazy.
Tank status: OVERSTOCKED
My fish (especially my loach) grew MUCH faster than I expected. A new tank is on the list for this week!
Current occupants:
~1 male betta
~1 bristlenose pleco(3")
~ 3 peppered cories
(2 males, 1 female)
~ 1 golden dojo loach (5"- he grew much quicker than expected!)
~ 3 harlequin rasbora
~ 4 Gold Inca/Apple snails
~Surprise purchase and addition to aquarium that didn't even cross my mind when I started an aquarium: Large Marina Hang-On box for my cory fry! I have 5 that are about 7 weeks (1-1&1/4 inch long) and 25 that hatched 6 days ago.
Next tank: 30L or 40B, not sure which
