Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Ok, so I'm new to this hobby. I've setup a 10 gallon tank and have 3 platies in it. I was told it was good to go when I added the fish 2weeks ago. I picked up a api master kit to test the water and my readings are 4ppm ammo, 0 nitrites, 0 nitrates. This leads me to believe I don't have bacteria in my tank eating the ammo. I've done 20% water changes but no changes in readings. Is there anything I can do to speed up thecycle? My platies seem happy but if the tests are right there's something not right.
I was ovefeeding them initially. My lfs showed me how much I should be feeding them so I've adjusted their meals so the uneaten food doesn’t add to the ammo levels.
Any advice is appreciated.
