Hi everyone, I told you I would be back!
I got my new test kits today and have tested my water and want to know what I need to alter to keep some Apistos, and am also wondering what Apisto's would be suitable for my water conditions.
Here's my readings:
pH 7.4
KH 89.5ppm/5 german degrees
GH 286.4ppm/16 german degrees
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 7.5 ppm
Ammonia 0
I originally had community fish in the tank and the lfs told me to put these conditioning salts in. However, I think that's why my pH is on the alkaline side so I am not sure whether I should clean out my tank and put fresh water in without the salts, just adding the Tri Start (which says it removes Chlorine and Chloramine and is a conditioner as well).
If I clean out just the water, will it need to cycle again?
What Apistos would be best for me? I only want a pair, my tank is a 90L tank with a biological filter. It's planted and has some driftwood in there.
Thanks in advance!
