Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi there...I have a 20gal FW aquarium that has been up and running for 9 weeks now. Have Aqueon power filter, heater (78 deg.), some plastic plants and a Pagoda for decoration. From reading many many articles online, I purchased 3 zebra danios to help cycle the tank. I was doing partial(20%) water changes every couple of days...all 3 fish have since died. I am using an API Master Test kit to check the water. For the past 6 weeks the readings have all been the same:
Ammonia: 1-2 PPM
Nitrites: 0
Nitrates: 0
Ph: 7.8
Temp: steady 78 deg.
Don't know what I can do at this point to get the cycle going so that I can introduce new fish into the tank. (my 4yo is growing impatient! ) Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
