Now thsat I have my test kit how oftne should I perform tests? I was thinking of performing a monthly full test and a weekly tets for nitrites? What do you guys think?

Is there any reason yyou guys are so opposed to using chemicals to manipulate the water, or is it your personal approach?

Ok, I have soem fluid that can icnrease the pH ina tank. I definitely think it's yellow. I don't see the green at all.

Does the ammonia look good, my girlfreind said she thought it looked a bit green?

Date Ammonia NH3/NH4 Nitrite NO2 PH Level Nitrate NO3 04/07/22 0 ppm 0 ppm 6.4 10-20ppm I did my first ever water test with my API Master test Kit. Everything looks surprisingly good, except the pH is quite low. thouhgts?

One of my fish is bullying the other, there was a group that used to all hang out together.... but nto one of the group is bullying a smaller fish and he has become withdrawn and hides in discreet areas of the tank... What can I do?

I went and did some research and found out exactly which fish I have: 2 x amano shrimp 1 x otociinclus 2 x peppered corydoras 1 x albino corydoras 3 x assorted platy 4 x Endler Guppy 2 x sailfin molly 6 x black phantom in a 60L Biord tank.

Thanks for the advise. I used to do a 70% water change every week, but I have now changed to 30% weekly. I will continue on that regimen. The fish seem to be doing well... I ahd my old tank in much worst states than how I keeep my fish now... so hopefully all should be good.

Once my tetsing kit comes i'll start checking for Ammonia and Nitrates and do water changes as appropriate until the tank evens out. No sweat.

Yeh I kept the old media in the filter, I also moved a plant and moss ball across from the old tank to the new tank.

I put the filter from my old tank (which i had for 8 months) into the new tank. So hopefully this wont be as bad as you guys think. How do you re-home a fish?

Ok, unfuortuantely this is the tank I have, so perhaps in the future I can relocate them to a larger tank if I get one. I also have a 25 litre tank doing nothing.... woudl it make sense to move them into there? How can I manipulate the GH in the water?

ok, I bought the API master test kit, so tomorrow I should be able to test the values.
