Aquarium Advice Regular
I have a 46 gallon tank running for about 6 weeks. I cycled it with goldfish (no longer in tank), added 8 fish after 4 weeks (6 neon tetras & 2 spotted corys), then another 6 fish 5 days later (2 zebra danios, 2 white clouds & 2 black skirt tetras) because the water conditions were good (I have the Api master tester). The weekend after I added the 2nd batch of fish, I gave them frozen food (a cube each of blood worms & brine shrimp) but it was way too much. I did a small water change a few days ago but there seemed to be constant sediment in the water so I did a larger one. Now the ammonia level is up to .5 after being .25 yesterday. The water is now clear and nitrite level is zero - I'm thinking I removed too much bacteria and wondered whether the tank would benefit from using ammonia remover in the filter? The fish all seem to be doing fine - eating and swimming, etc.
