Hi Everyone! |
|
So we have had our new fish for 3 days now! We cycled our |
|
planted tank, 20gal, for a week before adding 1 betta, 7 albino |
|
gold tetras, 2 kohli loaches, and 2 ottos (oh and one tiny snail |
|
got transferred over with the plants! Bonus!) I did have a pet |
|
store test the water to make sure it was cycled before adding |
|
the fish, the told me "everything looks good but your pH is a |
|
bit high." Then another gentlemen employee who was standing by |
|
interrupted and said you don't really need to worry about the |
|
pH, just the Nitrate, Nitrite and Ammonia. I just tested the |
|
water again and Ammonia was 0, Nitrite was also 0 but pH was 8.0 |
|
or higher. Our tap has a filter system (Rain Soft) so I am so |
|
that makes our water alkaline. |
|
Do I need to do anything about this? |
|
Also, did the first water change today at about 20-25%. Is it |
|
not a good idea to test same day as a water change? When's the |
|
best time to do that? |
|
Sorry, so many questions - I just want to do this right!! |
