Hi I am asking a question not about my tank but a tank at my work.
So on Friday I got asked to have a check on a fish that was sick unfortunately by the time I got there it had already died.
I looked at the tank the water looked clear but there was green slush on the side of the tank the plant in the tank had rotted. So I immediately checked the nitrates which were 160 plus! The colour wasn't even on the testing kit. So I performed about a 25-30% water change with water conditioner removed the rotted plant and wiped the aquarium glass. They have a filter which pours water into their tank. The other fish looked ok.
I checked the other levels also and these were the results
Ammonia 0-0.25
Nitrite was 0
PH 7.2
I left a letter saying they need to preform more water changes to drop those nitrates. The lady is going in today to perform another one.
Should I do another on Monday when I go back to work? Or will that be too stressful on the fish? They are small goldfish only tiny.
