zagz:
I have a 20 gal. with an aqua-tech 10-20, 120 GPH filter (tank has been up for 2 months, old filter was replaced with new one a week ago) living in the tank is :
3 skirt tetras (2 small, 1 large)
1 red tail shark
1 small pleco
1 tiny otto
2 medium female platies
1 medium male swordtail
the water parameters are:
temp.-86
ph-7 (was 6 and falling even with 10% daily PWC with dechlorinator and gravel vacc'd every time, so I used the PH tabs)
ammonia- .5-1 ppm (just now having a problem with this)
nitrite-.5 (went up a little bit, could it be from the ph tabs I put in?)
I feed tetra tropical flakes, peas and just discontinued feeding frozen bloodworms and am switching to freeze dried worms 1x every other day)
the tetra was like this today also now and all of the tetras seem to have this nerve jittery thing, sitting in one place and jitter. Not real bad and they swim and eat fine. The platy is still in the QT bucket and still swimming and eating like normal but looks like a pineapple. I turned the heat up already too. The pregnant platy is also flashing now. I also have the fry in a breeder box, should I move them? I have an extra 2 gallon tank now.
