Time for another fish update. It’s been a while now, and the fishies have been cruising along. At one point, the nitrite levels were really high again, so we changed out the water to bring them down, but for the most part, we’ve just been feeding them, testing the water, and waiting as nothing happened. Then suddenly, on Saturday, the nitrites were completely gone! I don’t mean that they dropped to a reasonable level, they’re just plain not there any more. Crazy how one day, they can be in the “stressful for the fish” level, and the next they’re just gone.
So that’s great news. The fish are happy and adjusted. The one fish is a bit of a bully when it comes to feeding time, but the smaller one gets his fair share. I’m very excited that the tank is cycled. I want to get a couple more fish, like something that will be a bottom feeder, and suck up all the junk the other fish miss, and maybe some little bright neon tetras. Very exciting!
