Diddy update

Post by Archaeopath »

Sorry, you must all be sick of hearing of this puffer by now :oops: Just wanted to let you know the water seems to be improving. Not counting any chickens yet, but ammonia's down and nitrate's up so it looks like it's getting a little better. Diddy's also stopped the frantic pacing and for the first time actually explored the tank properly today, so I guess he's relaxing now the water's improving. :D

Good to hear. Though the nitrate should also be going down eventually. Keep up the water changes ;-)

Yeah, water changes are still go! :D Ammonia's now .25 instead of .5, and nitrate's now 5 instead of 0 - hence I'm over the moon the nitrate's actually up at all. There's a chance the nitrite's down too, but the testing kits aren't accurate enough to show it properly (I hate colour change kits).

It all seems the tank's missing a number of snails, so I've got one fat little puffer, who's currently playing in the bubbles.
