Aquarium Advice Apprentice
First I have a African Lung fish. She, or so I believe, has not been eating,
is very listless and constantly stays on the bottom of the tank. I have been having problems with ammonia, and have not been able to level it out. I have done 20%, 30% and am ready to try a 40-50% water change if necessary to correct this ongoing problem. My lady is hardly eating anything, Since she is over 3 feet long (!!!) there are few other places I can put her. I have used "Ammo lock", just to make the water seem nicer. I know it does absolutely nothing except wreck havoc on the natural cycle, but she was really sick, and that seemed to help at the time. However it has been almost 3 weeks since that last treatment, and the water is still really high with ammonia. Somebody out there has to know a solution to my problem. Please believe me, she is like a family member, and has the most amazing personality!! If you can believe that! When she is well and comfortable she will come up to the surface to visit and let "hands" she knows pet her and hand feed her. She pouts when she doesn't get to visit with people!!! I am really at a loss as what to do to help my lady out. Any suggestions or advise will be greatly appreciated.
thanks
