Aquarium Advice Newbie
I have had my aquarium since October/2012 not very long ago. I left it cycling for 2 1/2 weeks and only added some life after taking the water of my aquarium to test at my pet store and waited for approval. I am not sure but I think they have tested NO2 levels what was low (yellow mark).
After adding 5 males guppies and 2 females I had a few problem with them. On the following day one of them jumped out of the aquarium. The others ones were looking fine. After a while I started having problems with swim bladder disease because I was over feeding them, i guess. so added Aqualibrium salt just in case it was bacterial or viral the disease cause, did it oriented by the pet store. The salt kill slowly ur plants btw, so be careful.
And a couple of weeks ago other male jumped out of the aquarium and yesterday another one. I can tell when they are about to do it because they get really excited and running up and down.
I have set my water level on the aquarium lower about 2.5 to 3cm now it was 1cm previously.
I don't understand why they keep jumping out I think is part of their nature to jump, from what I have read around some others forums but there is a tiny space for them to get trough and it would be to much coincidence to happen 3 times, it could be but I am trying to find out if it could have another reason.
Any suggestion and comment r welcome, takes
