If your tank has been setup and with fish in for a month and a half I don't see why you need bacteria. The tank should be cycled or at least building up a natural bacteria colony. I don't use bacteria in a bottle and find it to usually just be a way to throw money away. How much time someone has been in the hobby doesn't truly show how much they have learned or know. If your LFS guy didn't ask for a water sample to test if you already have a bacteria colony then I would be a bit reluctant to to listen to his advice. Just for example, my aunt has had a tank since I was a kid(20 years or more) and she didn't even know about the nitrogen cycle.
Yes, one cap full for each 10 gallons / 10 caps full. Probably you have rocks and substrate so it could be somewhat less water volume, probably will not be an issue though.
If you have a test kit, monitor the water to make sure it doesn't cause an ammonia spike.
You need to know what the ammonia, the nitrIte and nitrate is frequently is there are issues, daily and maybe even 2x a day until any issues are resolved.
My arowana was swimming funny so I test the water and the ph was 7 and the 3 others was 0
My fish day ask for water test and photos always when I have fish problems
If you have 0's across the board than your tank is not cycled. Water changes... quick quick. You'll lose that wana
Nitrate and nitrite is 0 so I’m sure they need bacteria not water change . Do u think so
when you setup the tank did you monitor ammonia, nitrite and nitrate to make sure the tank was actually cycling? it seems odd to have 0 for everything. how is testing done? test strips or a liquid test like the api master test kit?
