progress of the aro noob

[dayak]

Ty, yes I am learning here as in live we learn new thing everyday
What I mean about the bb died because what they eat is ammo which is created by the fish, since there's no ammo hence the starved and died..i was trying to create/find reason with what's up with the nitrate spikes, it has to have something that causing it. Sorry if I was thinking outloud on that LOL

I will look into that seachem product if the water parameter is not under control when I get home later.
Like I said so far it was within parameter from the get go it was just shoot higher than I like.
Yes I know I did not do the cycle u guys do, I do it my way which I think is better by monitoring the water parameter.
I introduce my fish in the cycling tank because I wanted to keep those fish.
I know fish create ammo, that's the exact reason I introduce my fish in it, with the help of that bottled BB of my choice, to keep the ammo created by the fish under control.
As long as PH, ammo, nitrite and nitrate within parameter for the fish I'm keeping..don't u think its healthy water for the fish?
On my last test warned me to do 50% WC because nitrate was so high, I know nitrate wasn't really toxic to fish as bad as ammo and nitrite( I might get confused with the wording). But when nitrate ppm is so high it will choke the fish to dead.

PH is acid level of the water low/high, depends on the fish u keeping
Ammo is created by the fish itself
Nitrite is the BB converting the ammo
Nitrate is the result of nitrifiying process of the fish waste/ decayed food

Nitrite (the BB) convert ammo to nitrate, when nitrate concentration is high in the tank means there's too much gas in the water body instead of the oxygen for the fish to breath.

The water was within the paramater untill yesterday across the board,

How is your way better, when you're subjecting fish to ammonia and nitrite? Ammonia and nitrite should be zero, ALWAYS, otherwise something is wrong. It's isn't like you said, that .25 is acceptable, and 0 is ideal. No, it must be zero always, and when your tank is cycled, this is not a problem at all.

And you didn't have a "nitrate spike," you simply didn't change the water for three weeks.

Well at least we know why the arowana jumped from the tank. I was just trying to get out of the ammonia pool you are keeping it in. You say that you are an experienced fish keeper but your actions show otherwise. For the benefit of that poor arowana I sure hope you open your ears and start listening to what others are saying.

this thread is still open? i see a troll or really dumb kid. or mabe a really dumb kid trolling for a second time.


i tried to find the running him out on a rail smilie, but the best i could find was this one he starts one one side then we wave him out of town. then we give him one of these just for fun.

maybe i am the troll or maybe too much my threads attrack trolls and flamers.
the problem with u is, give generic "advice" and call it advice if someone questioned it they got butthurts and attack LOL
isnt it the forum all about?
yes its ideally 0, not has to be
my WC shows better water with 0 ammo but the nitrite still too high, and going to to try that seachem

ammonia does have to be zero, even small amounts causes damage to the gills and larger amounts can give 'ammonia burns' all over the fishes body.

Ideal? your ammonia HAS to be 0. Theres a reason why we establish a cycle. If it didnt HAVE to be zero, we wouldnt HAVE to cycle a tank. Problem is with YOU in the sense that you can't take advice...

now your aro is in that tank already. do yo have any friends with fish tank, try to get established bacteria from their filters or do you have any tank that is already cycled. this will help in cycling your tank fast. keep up with you water changes, about 50% daily till your tank is cycled. and try to follow the advice you have got from the other members. i have learnt alot from this site and i am still learning. good luck with your aro.

almost bought seachem stability recommended by a member here, if i did might cause disaster and got flamed again here when reporting the progress, good thing i consult with my LFS and they recommended prime instead,than i remember bomber..thanks bro ur adviced confirmed
i just applied the seachem prime into the tank and see if that take care of my problem and also will have to do 25% 3 times a week WC untill the problem fix
