So, I know that you guys would say I am over stocked with two clowns and firefish in a 12 gallon fluval edge.
That being said, what are the signs of over stocked?
Reason I ask is that my nitrates are high ~40-60 ppm. All other params are 0, PH 8.2 and SG 1.024. Fish are VERY healthy and eating like horses
Could too many fish cause the high nitrates? Did a PWC and it helped a lot.
Of note, I am not using chemi-pure elite and fully seeded biomax in my filter. I am upgrading to at least a 29 gallon soon, but wanted to keep this tank for my son's room.
Thoughts? And please, be easy on me. I am aware that I am probably over stocked. Just trying to fix it.
