question on ocellaris

Oh goody I have to deal with another guy who's about to start a mini flame war... Why don't you just shut up, ok? I've been feeling stressed today and you calling me an asshat just makes me feel like total crap.

 

I manage 4 languages too: english, spanish, greek, and I'm starting mandarin chinese. One more thing; I'm not criticizing, it's more of a correction. and what does fff... mean???

 

kukulkan - Id try adding another clown with it, Would make for companionship. They always seem to better in pairs IMO. Just make sure there is a good size difference between the current one

Do you have any current parameters, mainly ammonia and nitrates to being with?

Physically: is it breathing heavy ? Have any spots for torn fins?

 

Yes parameters at this point are a little off , water turn cloudy from night to day, nitrates and nitrites are a little high, Tomorrow I'm planning to do a water change to see if that brings down the parameters and the cloudiness. Clown is breathing heavy since I got it, and water parameters where just fine. no physical damage whatsoever.

 

It helps if you give us what the water parameters are. We all have our own perception of fine. A little high to one may be really high to someone else. It also helps others learn what are acceptable levels if they are unaware and reading through threads.

 

Sounds like you are having a bacterial bloom " water turns cloudy from night to day" as well as the fact that you have any nitrites at all tells me you have recently had some ammonia. Water change and running carbon should help with that, replace the carbon if you are running carbon older than say 1 week and keep changing it out every couple of days until the water no longer turns cloudy.

Good luck.

 

Ok parameters read as follows Amonia 1.0, Nitrate 40ppm, Nitrite 3.0ppm, ph 8.1.
yesterday I replace carbon today will do 20% wc
thanks for replies.
