So I've had my tank for some time, about 3 weeks maybe. I think my tank has been cycyling during all this time. I think the fish have been in there for 2 and a half weeks. I have 2 balloon mollies left over from 3. Well i was doing partial water changes every 2-3 days. The dead one never looked that energetic alive. Then I started testing for ammonia just a little while ago and these are my results:
March 22: 1.0 ppm
after water change 0.8 ppm
23: 1 ppm
after water change 0.6 ppm
24: 1 ppm
25 after water change: 0.50 ppm
26: 0.50 ppm
27: 0.50 maybe 0.40?
after water change 0.25 ppm
28: 0.25 ppm maybe lower couldn't tell
29: 0
so now I'm wondering about the nitrite part. I don't have a test kit for that and I couldn't find one. Should I keep doing water changes and if so how much and often? I want to keep these mollies living and add another female or two to releif the one I have in there from being hit on constantly asap, but only when it's safe to.
