Hello everybody!
8O I need almost desperate HELP!
I notice last night that my fry tank ( really a 2 gal pan) were I have been keeping my Danios babies ( they are now almost 3/4 in big if not a whole inch) has gone from a nice 7.8 pH to an alarming 6.3 acidic condition.
My Jungle Labs 5 in 1 test kit reflected yesterday the following results:
bare with me a little, my memory is not the best!
pH. 6.3
Alkalinity 0?
Harness. Soft
Nitrite. 0.0
Nitrate ( cant remember the value, but in the acceptable SAFE zone.)
I do PWC bi weekly, I have an air stone thru a spone and a seeded filter media summerged where the fry seems to love to hide and collect.
This fry tanks has been set up for almost 2 months if not longer ( bad sense of time from my side).
All was good, now all of the almost-suddent the water has started to change. Just recently too I started feeding Hikari Tropical Micro pellets?? instead of the usual First Bites... I think is micro pellets... very small like flakes kinda tiny rounds??...
I need help, suggestions on what to do to keep or bring the pH to safe side ( for Danios) of 6.8-7.8? Im on the cycling period for a new 29 gal ...so I need to buy some time... any suggestions??
Thank you all in advance...!!!
