I'm an intermediate skill fish keeper and am aware of cycling a tank and
such. I've got myself into a situation that I'm not sure the best way to resolve. In my 75 G. tank my two of my freshwater angelfish spawned. I removed the eggs and have successfully raised the fish until now there bodies are about the size of a 50 cent piece. I also have two subsequent spawnings at various stages of development. If this turns out to be worthwhile (if I can find a LFS to buy these from me) then I may invest in larger tanks, but right now I have a 2 G. "hatching" tank, a 5 G. intermediate tank, and a 10 G. "final" tank. It is this 10 G. tank that is giving me problems. The 10 G. tank is seriously overloaded. I'd guess that I have 50+ angelfish in that tank. The ammonia is high, and I cannot get it down. I'm very puzzled by that. I've even resorted to twice daily 50% water changes and the ammonia is still too high. At this point I'm not sure what to do. If I can find a LFS to take them, they're ready to go and the problem will be solved. It may be another few days before I get there. Should I: Put ammo lock or something similar in the tank? Continue with the big water changes and not worry about anything else? Move the fish into 5 G. buckets with fresh water? Something else.... If I can make any money off these guys, I'll invest in a larger "final" tank, but I'm not there yet. Tony |
