whats the ph and temp?

 

[amazonfishman]

Try some feeder ghost shrimp. What size is the lima? Temp should be between 75-80 if its not I'd change that. Ph should be between 6.5-7.5. Is the tank cycling? 0 nitrates is pretty odd I think you should have at least something.

lima is about 4" ph is 7.2 temp is 79 it is an established tank nitrates are around 20 amm o nitrites 0
