Nothing. 7.2 is fine

Don't do a thing. 7.2 is absolutely perfect

md_mohammad,

Is your aquarium information correct?
22 gallons with
2 Red Tail Sharks
2 Rainbow Sharks
2 Albino Sharks
1 goldfish
1 Pleco
? Loaches
? Baloon Mollies

Although your PH is fine if your aquarium information is actually as listed you do have MANY other issues that you need to address.

hello...i'm extremely sorry...i hv to update my tank info..it's nt correct...i will update it rite away...

md_mohammad

n my nitrite level is 0.2mg/l i read somewhere that it should b zero...is it at a danger level..if yes then wat do i need to do..

Dozey

Your nitrite level should be zero. That low of a nitrite level can be dealt with by water changes and treating with the tank with Prime or Stress Coat Plus.

I also see that you answered No to “do you know about the nitrogen cycle?” If this is correct you should read over http://www.fishlore.com/NitrogenCycle.htm

If you could please post your readings for ammonia, nitrites and nitrates members will be able to advise you far better as how to proceed with your aquarium.

7.2 is perfectly healthy for a very wide variety of fish, unless you have certain varieties of cichlids or discus or something like that then you're fine with that. most fish can tolerate pH anywhere from 6-8, so 7.2 is great

Your aquarium info is looking far better. I don't know about all of your fish and you should likely seek other members for detailed advice.

But I can comment on your common plecos. They can grow up to 18" and produce a great deal of waiste. Generally it is advised that common plecos be kept in 75 gallon or larger tanks.

the RTS i think will be a bit of a problem, not only will he outgrow the tank but he probably won't do well with the pleco, and the parrots will definitely outgrow that tank, especially if you have three of them.

for your other tank, you'll definitely need a bigger one for all those goldies. the general rule is 20 gallons for the first goldfish and an extra 10 gallons for each additional one (i.e. three goldfish means a 40 gallon tank, five means 60) also, you shouldn't be mixing goldfish which are coldwater fish with tropical fish such as the cories.

here is some info on the types of goldies that you have and how big they will get.
