I set up my 29 gallon on August 19 with 4 platies. And I am not seeing much progress. The first two weeks I did water changes 2 a week for whatever reason. However I have not done a change in two weeks now.
I feed twice daily and am running an eheim pump.
Tonight my tests are
.25 or less ammonia
0 nitrites
0 nitrates
7.4 ph
Temp 79
I lost 1 platy to ick but the tank looks to have recovered. I did not use any chemicals only turned the heat up to 88 degrees.
I had a bacteria bloom or just very cloudy water for 4 days on week 3 however the tank is crystal clear now
I am going on week 5 and not sure what to do. Should I buy 2 more fish or keep waiting.
