Iām not saavy when navigating this so sorry ahead of time. Hereās the rundown:
Pineappleās parameters are good except water hardness (no water softener). Everything.
Heater set at 78.
Aqueon submersible pump.
3 plants.
10 gallon tank, new as of May 10th.
I didnāt know you had to do a cycle, so no, I didnāt.
Checked parameters before putting pineapple in the water. Checked water he left, the same numbers.
Temperature same as other tank.
Kept 2 gallons from small tank. He went from two and a half gallons to 10.
5 pellets twice a day. Didnāt know I had to soak them. Blood worms 3 or less a week.
When do I change the filter?
When do I do a full change?
I clean gravel once a week, is this enough?
Do I t add the rescue stuff to his water every partial change?
Pineapple is agitated, resting on hammock all the time. He sinks from his hind end and seems to want air. Everything looks good, fins, tail, eyes, sides. Believe it or not Iāve only been doing this fish thing since I rescued Pineapple in February but tried to troubleshoot everything. I have a good aquarium store and they said my water was great as of yesterday.
Please let me know if something else can be wrong. Thank you
