I hope you let the ammonia levels go back down in the cycle after they rose when you added the goldfish... try looking up fishless cycling, and take everything your fish store employees say with a grain of salt.. theyre just trying to make a sale.
I check the levels at least two times daily, everything is in order. I got home from work and the PH was a tad high, so i added some PHdown and now everything is fine.
c:how the heck do i put a picture on a post?c:Im the worst nerd ever... lmao
GOT IT!! WOOOOT! lol Enjoy!

Recommend not messing with your pH at all. Is that something else your fish store employee sold you? There is RARELY (read: hardly EVER) a reason to mess with pH, fish can adapt to just about any pH that tap water will have, and messing with it will cause more problems than anything else.

These:swear::lipssealedsmilie::swear::mad2: fish store employee :evil_lol::swear: sons a :swear:....ugh you wanna come to philly to be my fish mentor lol? i need somebody to keep me from listening to these morons... sigh. money wasted on useless chemicals...:headshake2: I suppose santa isnt real too huh? lol. But on a serious note, everything else is very well balanced.
LOL. Keep posting here and we'll get you up to speed in no time. Check out the Article corner, and since you're keeping blue crays, check out the Freshwater Invertebrates forum, too.
Like I said... Take EVERYTHING they say to you with a grain of salt. The fact that they sold you pH modification chemicals knowing you are a n00b to fishkeeping, says one of two things. Either the employee is also a n00b, or theyre just making a buck because they can come off as knowledgable.
We won't steer you wrong.
