Hello,
I recently got a new tank and used API's Quick Start to immediately add fish. I was skeptical, so I talked to someone at the fish store who said that it really does work!
My fish tank does not seem to be responding to it correctly. My ammonia levels are high - between 2 and 4, as well as my nitrites being high (Not sure of exact measurement). I have been doing water changes every other day (20-25%) I have added a bit of stress zyme as well, but my fish really are not seeming healthy.
A lot of my fish have one pectoral fin that just won't move - it is sticking out and will not aid in swimming at all - from what I have gathered this is due in part to stress from bad water quality.
I really am not sure what to do. I wish that I would have followed my gut and done a normal cycle, without the quick start addition, but it is too late! I was wondering if anyone else has used this quick start stuff from API successfully and if so, how? Also, if anyone knows anything else I can do for the fins with the useless pectoral fins, that would be awesome!
Thanks.
