Aquarium Advice Addict
I read they need salt in the aquarium, not a lot, but are best kept with other live bearers whom also like salt. I would say the cardinal tetras.
Hmm maybe do a retest to see for yourself
I was telling my dad and he wanted to see it. I tested following the directions on the kit and same as before, all good.
They were 20, but anyway. He sai it was the trites that caused it. He says it didn't cycle because that. I isnt have a source for the bacteria to feed off of.i told him that is what the ammonia is e said t is just a myth. And when he showed me a graph if the ammonia, trites, then trates all spiking, I said that that did happen. His blunt answer- no it didn't. That man treated me like I was buying a tiger oscer along with a 5 gallon tank with plans to set it up that night. Not like a person who spent five months researching and learning, and doin all I could to make sure the fish will be healthy
The nitrates were 20. The guppies were 5 dollers each. Another thing that bugged me was that te guy wouldn't listen. Every thing I said, he'd say--nope, that's not right
I'm actually thinkin about takin his advice and lettin it run for 2 weeks with adding nothing to show that either he is wrong or that I am listening. But should I dose ammonia?
