Hi Guys,
I recently set up my smal 30L tank again for my molly and Betta as they were getting attached by bigger fish in my 80G tank (also have 10 black tetra's and 5 gummpy in their also)
I cycled the tank (3 weeks ago) for 4 days with just some plants and then added the molly, followed tetra's 4 days later, then gummpies, and about 10 days ago i added the betta.
I was constantly monitoring the water as i knew it was very quick adding all the fish, but 3 days ago i did a Ammonia and Nitrate test and both were sky high.
I did a 30% water change straight away, with the levels still off the chart i did a 40% change yesterday, but i'm curious as they are still high today!
I dont want to do an other water change so soon but I dont want to lose the fish.
Any idea's??
