Hi all,
I recently got a 94litre tank and listened to the guy in the shop about using tetra safe start!! I know now I have read some posts on the Internet that it is best to do a fish less cycle!!! Trouble is I already have 6 guppies that seemed to be doing fine but yesterday one of my male guppies started just lying around the bottom of the tank and today his tail is in tatters!!
When he first got the fish I was talking to one of my friends who has tanks of his own and ,after telling me off, came gown with bacteria from his tank to give mine a boost!! Been testing for ammonia, nitrites and nitrates as well as ph, gh and kh. If there has been any ammonia I have been going a water change to help it but have not seen any nitrites yet and I worried for all my fish!!
I now you have probably heard this a lot but any advice is welcomed and needed to help my guppies. Thank you in advance Caroline x
