The Results Are In

Im showing signs of possibly .05 ppm of ammonia. Not much at all.

The rest of my fish are doing fine, I think bad quality tanks in petcetera killed the poor orange platy in my fishin cycle.

I decided to add four sunset platys, the next on my list cause platys are hardy. Ammonia is definitely not building up yet. Well one started playing dead for a while, and I let him. ALL my new fish play dead until they get used to a big tank, plus the small flow from the undergravel filter. Well this one played ded then became dead. Test results show nothing at fault but poor health. I've gone through most of the fish dealerships in town, and why do all of them sell me cruddy fish? Sure, they loooooook healthy, but one of them always drops off for no reason while the rest live happy lives!

I seriously wouldn't add any more stock until that ammonia reading has been nailed to zero

When I say .05 ppm, I mean a one percent chance. I'm not very good at the color card matching, since the liquid is a slightly different color than the solids.


All the other fish are happy, the two deaths were isolated cases.


Did I mention that my fish are so stupid, and that penn plax isn't lying when they say you cant tell the difference between a real plant and one of their plastics when its in the tank? Actually, my fish cant tell the difference either. They nip at my plastic plants!
