Yesterday I had a Molly fish die in my 30g tank. He wasn't there for more then a few hours before I discovered him and removed him. I did a 75% water change (so large mostly because I wanted to rearrange a few decorations too). My question is this:
Are my ammonia levels going to jump? I fully expected them to, but when I checked today all levels were perfect, 0, 0, 5. Is this because I did such a large wc? Or that such a small fish won't affect an established tank?
Also I read somewhere that someone will bury their dead fish in potted plants. Uh, why? Fertilizer I'm assuming..?
