I'm completely new to tropical aquariums. I used to have some goldfish and 2 weeks ago, due to bad info given to me I have added several fish. Pretty soon after that I heard I had don about everything wrong: wrong combination, wrong temp, wrong lights, wrong filter....
so I had to make some real quick decisions and changings.
so this morning I removed the goldfish, putting in several new plants and started a new filter... big changes so I understand that it's normal that my water values are not good wright away... but since I'm new at this I'm not sure what I can just 'let it be' and when I immediately have to act... trying to keep the story short; I have now
aquarium 100/40/50cm
filter Eheim 2224
temp 25 (celcius)
fish: Poecillia Helleri, Xiphophorus maculatus,Beta Splendens(each 1male and 2 female)
I know this is not much but since I started wrong I Tend to keep it like this for a while
quick test on the water, wright after al the changings
PH=7,2 KH=between 3-6 GH=10 NO2=0 NO3=50
7 ours later
PH=7,6 KH=6 GH=16 NO2=0 NO3= 25
The question is can I just let it be and wait til the filter is doing the job or is there something I really have to act on now?
Thanks for any tips or and help
