RE: inherited a tank, fishless cycling now
Hi Thor,
Hope all is well? I have been doing very well have two happy Orandas. I lost one to floaty disease shortly after having but have been good since. Currently ALL readings are where they should be but I seem to be having a bacterial bloom which is causing stress to the fish. I have been doing weekly water changes and did rinse filter media lightly in tank water to remove debris. The bloom started before that. I have put in more bubblers for I want them to get plenty of oxygen however they are going to the top, being hyper then lethargic. I have done some reading and thought would let run its course but is going on two weeks. I ordered some products from dr Tim today for one stated helps get rid of bad bacteria leaving good. Any other suggestions. These guys are struggling. Had put one in bucket with bubbler and treated water and he did well? Should I remove both for a couple of days but then no ammonia to keep tank working. I never have ammonia if so very low gone within hours. Nitrite at 0 blue, nitrates 40 or below usually 20. What the heck? Can't lose these two they are my champs!
