I followed the directions of you guys during my experience with new tank syndrome. In the beginning I overstocked my aquarium way too soon causing the ammonia to Skyrocket eventually I removed the majority of the fish and stuck with one 7 inch arowana. I had used ammonia lock and stability for about 2 weeks and finally started seeing improvements after doing the recommended daily 40% water changes with a couple of 70% water changes thrown in there just for the hell of it. I did my last 40% water change today. Today our shipment arrived and we introduced 2 Red severums to our Aquarium and three marbled gar which are about 4 in Long, the severums are around 3 in Long. I'm hoping the arowana is not make a snack of one of the smaller gar. We also have 2 Golden severums already existing in the aquarium along with the seven inch arowana and 5 very small Cory cats. The ammonia levels have a drop to an acceptable level and I finally feel like things are going in the right direction. I think I did will watch using tankmates considering this is only a grow a tank which will last for the next two to three months Max until the larger aquarium is complete. What do you guys think? Opinions, suggestions or tips? And thank you again guys for helping me get to the cycling process, today the only water chemical I'm using is prime.
