Mikaila31,
Thanks for your response. Interesting to hear your comments on the clown loach. I did some reading online. I never realized they could get so big!
I did some more testing and all my levels are excellent as of this writing. I don't know where I got the idea of high ammonia...
Thanks for your replies.
I've got an undergravel filter with about 1.5 inches of gravel and an external power filter. There are no rocks, but there are artificial plants (plastic/clothlike). (On a side note, will lavarock upset the PH balance?)
I've been using an Aquarium Pharmaceuticals...
I've read and visited some fish stores and it appears that the best method of reducing the PH is through the use of driftwood. I had already tried to lower the PH by using the PH decreasing liquid but it didn't do a thing.
I've got a 34gal aquarium with only 5 harlequin rasporas and one guppy...
