Hi guys becuase i had to move away for a couple of months etc my fish got not w/c as often and now i'm paying for it becuase now i have 5 stunted RT's and i was going to get your oppion on what to do to boost there growth to be honest i'll give specs of my old tank that they were in and the new one.
Old tank they were in 250L 5ft tank:
PH7.5 maybe a bit higher :?
Nitrate:10ppm
KH:5
Temp:28
and they were w/c every week and a bit :( :( :( :( :( (I wasn't home to do it)
New tank there in 430L 4x2x2ft tank (Heavily Planted)
PH:7.2
Nitrate:5ppm maybe less
KH:3-4
Temp28.5
w/c at the moment every week but can do more w/c just a quick question is there any reason to do more w/c if my nitatre is not above 10ppm or there is huge amounts of waste in the tank?
The new tank there in is with the following fishys:
1 Large altum angel/ maybe fake one but still my baby
4 clown loachs small 5-6cm long
3 Congo Tetras (Large) 8cm long
1 Pleco 9cm long
1 Pictus Catfish Huge 14cm (keeps to himself under a log)
5 Black Widows 4cm long
3 Black Neons
And now 5 stunted discus :( :(
The tank heavily planted!
Cheers guys for any help.
Rick.
