So there is a tank in a house that was sold as is, its a 29 Gallon, looks pretty much new, and the accessories look brand new so I'm assuming very recently set up.
However, has 3 pictus catfish, an Angel, 2 bristlenose plecos, 4 Ottos and 5 cories.
Just did a water test:
Temp: 79 Degrees
pH: 8.2
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite: 2.0ppm
Nitrate: 5.0ppm
So I'm assuming maybe partially cycled?
What can I do to help this tank out? The fish I guess seem fine but I heard Nitrite kills from inside? The catfish seem to be going a bit crazy, but might just be the way they are, cories not really moving at all.
I have shut down my tank as I am currently moving, all the fish are up for free right now but no interest yet.
Do I just do 50 percent water changes every day?
Suggestions?
