Am i Overstocked?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
you are ok the oscar will keep eating the convict fry so you'll never be overstocked.
 
what is your filtration system like???
 
I have two fluval 404's and a 302 runnning on it. I have the 302 going beacuse its off of a tank that is currently empty, midaswell keep the bacteria and use it.
The convicts haven't ever bred, since i have had the tank. They are really neat. Look like a convict, and have alittle bit of the coloring of the Texas.
 
What are your nitrates like? How high do they get within a few days or a week or before you clean the tank? Extra filtration is a great thing but your filters won't remove nitrates.
 
I test the nitrate before and after i do a 50% water chage every week.
Before--20-25ppm
After--5-10ppm
i also have a question, is it normal to have the ammonia to go from 0-0.25 after a water change? I have herd its normal because your stir up debris.
 
I would take out the rest of the convicts after a pair is established. THey could still get too aggressive for the O thou.
 
you're good to go. lotsa fluval. cool diy.
rinsing the fluval mech pads during wc will help prevent nitrates from accumulating.
