About the nitrites...
About the nitrites...
Hi all,
Thought I'd thank everyone that gave me advice through this and let you know the following:
ph 7.5
ammonia = 0
nitrites = 0
nitrates = < 10ppm
WAHEY!!!!
Its the first day the nitrites have been 0 so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Both fish seem happy enough, good colour (which varies depending on hunger, tiredness etc) and they are acting less like 'caged animals'. I know that I have to get a bigger tank ASAP (not another cycle! I'll do it fishlessly next time
), but for now things are looking good.
Thanks again for all the advice - in the words of Arnie 'I'll be back'!!
Cheers,
Ade.

I was told at the pet store here when I bought some feeder goldfish for my lemon oscars to keep the goldfish in a separate tank (except the few being put in as food) because they have more waste than other fish which increases the nitrites to harmful levels for other tropical freshwater fish
LOL. I read through the whole thing, not realizing it was old until I got to the last page. I'm thinking - who are some of these people that are posting answers? I never see them on here... Bahahahaha
OMG, I can't believe it took 4 pages & my preparing for a long response, before I found out how old this thread is! I wonder how the puffers are today?
