Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi there!
My name is Angel and I live in Vancouver Canada. I am pretty new to the world of aquariums besides taking care of a male betta for 2.5 years.
My partner and I recently decided to take the plunge and get an actual freshwater aquarium. We bought a 6 gallon Fluval Edge. Along with the aquarium we got 6 guppies and some live plants/decorations.
We started the tank with a substrate that came with water in order to introduce beneficial bacteria to the tank right off the bat.
Overall it has been really hard for us to keep fish healthy - we started out with 6 guppies and now we only have 2 left. This could have been caused because we added 4 sunset tetras to the tank after 10 days of having started the cycling.
Right now I have 2 male guppies and 3 sunset tetras left and I am doing my best to keep them healthy. I do partial water changes and test the water for ammonia and PH frequently.
Our latest PH reading was 7.5 and our ammonia showed up at 0.5
I am sad to keep losing fish so I would welcome any suggestions/criticism/feedback.
Look forward to talking to you.
For a video of my tank feel free to click on this link: Fluval Edge Aquarium - YouTube
