Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I need some advice! I have a 55 gallon tank with two baby Oscars and one pleco. I admit, I was not the most educated fish owner when I purchased everything, and new NOTHING about cycling your tank before you add your fish, not to mention, the fish store where I purchased the tank told me 24 hours is enough time. After getting VERY high ammonia and nitrite readings and to numerous to count water changes, I purchased some biospira. I added it to my tank on Saturday morning. Yesterday I noticed that both of my Oscars had developed a small case of ich, so I added aquarium salt and raised the temp to 82 degrees. I checked my readings again this morning and my ammonia and nitrites are still VERY high. How long does it take this Biospira stuff to work or should I do a water change????
Thanks!!!
