So i have 20 cardinal tetras and 6 Corydora sterbai, i feed them 2/3 times a day which everything is consumed without over feeding. My problem is that i am getting an ammonia reading of 0-0.25ppm nitrite of 0-0.25ppm(closer to 0) and no nitrate. It has been 10 days since my last water change, and my tank is 130Litres
My ideas for this happening is:
1. I have the API test kit which nitrates have to reach 5.0ppm to show up, and its no where near that yet.
2. The fish i have aren't produced that much waste.
3. My test kits not good, i have been shaking the bottles vigorously so thats not the problem.
Also i have no plants to use up the nitrate
Thankyou
