First I admit I officially don't know what I'm doing...
Basics: new tank, 2 weeks in, 6 zebra danios. Ammonia 1-2 ppm, 0 nitrite maybe 10-20 nitrate. Based on info at lfs I have been adding prime every other day and bacteria (microbacter) every other day. Still can't bring ammonia down, fish seem fine (spawning&eating). My tap water is heavily chlorinated with API telling me it's between 1-2 ppm so I haven't changed any water from day one. Do I just keep plugging along? Should I pick up RO water from lfs? 38 gallon tank
I'm all ears...
Danios have been in for 7 days
Temp 78
Ph 7.5 ish
