Crowded tank and other rambling

4 Days ago we added 4 platies and 6 otocinclus to the 10 Gallon tank, plus 2 more danios a few days ago. We have been testing for ammonia and nitrite risings but nothing yet, the levels keep in zero.

Two of the platies show signs of fin nipping with some fungus. That has happened to the guppies before and we haven’t used blue methyl, just kept the water clean with regular changes and they have improved. Previous experience shows me that separating a fish and adding blue methyl results in casualty 90% of the time.

About the new 55 gallon tank, we are still cleaning it. It was very dirty and the plastic cover parts are all stained with calcium deposits. I tried with vinegar but it didn’t clean very well. We will have to try something else.

@ Scott: Thank you. We already have 4 danios zebra in the form of glofish. Look at the link in the right Our Aquarium tanks to see the list of fish we have. They are the cycling squad ;)
