RE: inherited a tank, fishless cycling now
Hi Thor,
Hope you & all others are well.
Wanted to send an update and ask a couple of questions.
I now have two Orandas. One is a copper chocolate one with big pretty head and the other is a Calico ingot Oranda. My chocolate boy has been with me a month, eats well etc. the Ingot is not eating well. He grew up in tanks with no gravel and one day he had some stuck that he poofed out later. Feeding new life spectrum food. Just ordered some floating hoping would help but he ate little of the brine shrimp I tried yesterday. I also noticed that him and my chocolate baby have a little shedding on their noggins. The tank readings are good. PH is 7.6 give or take.

Second I think it would be time now to check the filters in Fluval, however since readings are good only added second fish do you recommend monthly or quarterly? I know to rinse in tank water but with what happened prior a little gun shy. I have read most of your posts but wanted some personal attention. Cool

Nancy
