How is your fish doing?

Don't worry too much about the ammonia, just keep a close eye on it for the next few days and make sure it goes back to zero. The water changes will help speed this up.

Ok. The ammonia is going down fine. The female guppy has moved from the corner and is back down the bottom with the other fish. I think my algae eater is pregnant though.. I noticed she's got quite a big belly. Could it be some sort of disease, or just pregnancy?

Can you get a pic is it like a lump and how much do you feed it cause if it's a lump it could be a tumor

I'll try and get a picture.. I'll be back in a sec, hopefully she'll cooperate.

You can see her up in the left corner by the rock.

Oh and as for food, I don't feed it anything special. I'm assuming it just eats the tetra flakes I give to my other fish, and the algae of course.

pudgy otto......sometimes they gorge themselves.

If I ever posted a picture of what my pim cats look like after a meal of bloodworms you'd think they're going to explode.

Okay I'll test the waters when I get home, I have to go to work right now though. I'll be back in three hours or so. Bye.

Edit: Got my date messed up, don't have to be at work for another couple hours.

Test stripes cost like 25$ for three here so I try not to waste them but I'll go do it again. Here are the results pH is 6.7, Ammonia is 0.14, nitrite is 0.0, nitrate is 21, temp is 25 º C. Those are normal, arent they?

Since you're in canada heres a link to Big al's canadian site with what you should buy. you'll get litterally hundreds of tests out of this kit
