So after my post on Friday my male molly wasnt looking great. I whizzed down to my LFS (Pets at Home) and had them test the water. He said I had high ammonia levels and that there wasnt anything I could do or buy to help. Saturday, we went over to another store of the same chain and bought a sucking loach along with some ammonia remover. I did a 10% water change and in went Mr Loach and my DH said why dont we put the P@H water in too. So we put that in and added the requisite amount of ammonia remover and to my delight, my male molly is no longer stationary other than breathing, he is swimming around, fins extended and looking happy and eating too
I am now curious.... Question 1. I have been doing 10% water changes daily, adding in the ammonia remover and I have added some stress zyme and stress coat too. Now that the fish seemed to have settled, and seem content, how often/to what degree would you change the water? Also the water had gone slightly cloudy, is this a bacteria bloom?
Final question..., the sukcing loach (aka chinese algae eater) keeps chasing the male molly and sucking his side. I'm a bit annoyed at the store as they didnt warn me when I bought him that it might do this. Any suggestions?
