Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I recently set up a new tall 110 Litre tank, which on the fish shop's advice I let cycle with some fluval cycle for 2 weeks. I then added way too many fish at once and I may have overstocked it a bit already (I'm new to the hobby and didn't get the best advice).
I currently have:
8 Female Platys
1 Dwarf Gourami
2 Silver Angelfish (Currently about 2 inches long)
To deal with the Ammonia I'm currently doing 35-40% water changes every day to keep the ammonia under 0.5ppm and dosing with Seachem prime and Sechem stability, with the plan to continue until the tank stabilises.
All the fish seem happy, active and are eating regfularly apart from one of the angel fish. He's eating and moving around fine, but the other angelfish is highly aggressive towards him and seems to be nipping at his fins, to the point where they're about 3/4 the length they were when I got him. They we're a bit ragged when we got him, so I'm not 100% sure if this is due to the nipping or fin rot (see attached pic)
I'm tempted to take him, or the aggressive fish back to the shop, but I would very much like to have a pair.
