Hello there,
I have a new 55 gallon tank that was fishless cycling for a month.
Water parameters:
PH: 8.2
Ammonia: 0.25;
Nitrite: 0;
Nitrates: close to 5.0ppm but a bit yellow color.
It’s a second day.
I have a convict that when I’m getting closer to the tank they are start hiding, and even for some period of time resting at the button. That why I’ve noticed on this morning.
Is this a signs of stress on the outside?
They are not laying on their sides or gasping for air or anything like that.
Or it’s normal for the first days?
Thanks
