Ph need to be below 7

3 maybe 4

Cudas that's it. Nothing else in the tank. Maybe a pleco if he stays low

Think about a 150 and a wolf fish though you'd like that.

Liveaquaria.com will help you. There's a difference between predator fish like a cuda and aggressive predator think of great White shark there's him than nothing else aggressive they'll learn to live with each other. If you want predator fish that's all you get. If you want aggressive...

No that's a snack for a cuda if toy want cudas that's what you'll have in the tank cudas and what ever they eat

Being 16 you have more to worry about (school) than a job right now. It's better to now than later to find a home for your RTC while it's small it'll be easier. Understand the 55 is not a big tank long yes but wide no. 6 8 inch Max length on predator type fish that swim that's what they do...

I finish with this if you want the ultimate in predator fish you need to research what is required to keep the wolf fish. You'll need a different tank of course but it's the only fish you can get that will jump up and eat your hand if it's too close and it feels like it. Liveaquaria.com is...

If you can fit a55 a 75 should also fit that'll open up more options for you you get more width.

I was just suggesting a predator type fish for ya that not an Oscar or cichlid I agree with you they are common and boring but the size of your tank limits you in the cool department of the predator fish

Little red tails like 6 8 inches

Fresh water cudas are pretty cool

And there you have it some one decided to say how big of a tank is really required for a fish that is 2ft long and about 12 inches in diameter.

55 not big enough for even 1 Brown knife. As others have said it's the width of the tank that is your problem. A 75 be good for 1 Brown knife plus you'll need lots of plants rocks and some wood. They need lots of hiding places. Floating plants good also to folder out some light

I'd suggest 4ppm for being away for 5 days and hope that the ammo doesn't drop to fast finally

Id say let it go one more day see if you can get it to drop to being 1ppm. Maybe start a different thread about the stuff on heater lots of people on here with lots of knowledge someone will know im not sure couldnt even guess

Take it back up to 2ppm hopefully it'll drop tomorrow again than we will go to 3ppm

If you tell me what you want the thread to say I'll start it for ya

Post results tomorrow keep your fingers crossed.

If you wanna wait a couple morw days to see if it drops than no dont add any more ammo. If you want to switch to the fish in cycle than youll have to do a water change b4 adding some fish.

I thought it was a cap in each bucket sorry. I asked for you to bare with it thru the weekend if youd like to wait a coupke more days it cant hurt if you want to jist switch to doing a fish in cycle I fully understand. If you do the fish in youll need to test every day and make sure the ammo...

I think it was really 2ppm to begin with but 4 cap fulls of prime really messed up the test.

Thats not a bad thing right now. Im gonna call it day 3 though

I would say they had no oxygen and died off. Test again tomorrow lets hope that tomorrow or sunday the nitrites come back and the ammo starts to drop consistent.

Your welcome. Good luck.
