thanks for the reply - I understand what you are saying and somewhat agree with you, but the starting fish choice wasn't my idea, but had to go with it. The fish seem happy, they tend to stick to the middle or bottom of the tank unless it feeding time then it is top frenzy. The BiUbe may be...

I believe and have seen discussion on this, but it would be fine. LFS also confirmed this for the BiUbe

I have a BiUbe 30 litre tank. It has been setup since early may. 2x Zebra Danios 2x Golden Danios 3x White Clouds 3x Neon Tetras I have a budget of 3 more fish to add, but I am not sure what to get. Add 1 each Zebra and Golden and a cherry Shrimp ? Add more Neons ? Any suggestions ? Thanks.

4 months old - just started a few weeks back. Will keep an eye on it. Cheers

Hi guys, I have been running my BiUbe for a while now - everything seems to be going well. It has 2 Zebra danios, 3 mountain clowns and a couple of golden zebra danios. The water recently tested had both ammonia and nitrite at zero - with nitrate at 40. I am now seeing brown slimy stuff...

well I have Ammonia at 0 and Nitrite hovering around 0.25 :-) Thanks to all for the help I got over this - still have all the "super" fish ! One question though, the fish still seem to spend time at the top of the tank - rarely dropping to mid range - The Zebras tend to be more adventurous...

Okay, so after numerous water changes I am getting the Nitrite down - the fish are still there!! So my next question is this. At these high levels I can only assume some stress on the fish. Is there anything I do or give them that will help them perk up ? As I have said before, there is no...

Just done a change - will let it settle and then do another that clears out the system. Will let you know ! Thanks

nothing really - just some plastic plants....

thanks. just so I know, if and when I get it down to safe levels- and then find it rising, what would be the cause - I wouldn't have thought the fish would be producing that much ? Thanks for all your help

So I think either my tank is screwed, or I have lots of changes to do... 20 % - 5+ 10% actual reading :hyper: 1 So there be lots of nitrite.... :( Water changes only, or is there anything else ? Should I stop feeding ?

Ok, a little update. I have done 2 changes around 40 % last night and this morning Ammonia 0 Nitrite 5+ -- basically no shift Nitrate 5 PH 8.0 -- is this too high ? Tap Nitrite 0. So I have no idea - I can't believe the Nitrite can be SO high still. I would imagine the fish would be dead...

thanks for all the help - I will post some more readings later when I get back from work (didn't want to appear rude for not replying). As for the test, and the fish conditions, I agree I thought they would be smoke, but they seem pretty happy swimming around.

so why with these five fish, would nitrite get so high - I wouldn't have thought it would get so high ?

pretty much !
