Here's the situation:
My brother in law got himself a jardini in a 20g for grow out without asking me, without cleaning out the old substrate before he set it up, without waiting for tank to cycle.
So far, I'm doing water changes 50-60% everyother day to keep the jardini healthy enough to either give back or trade off when he's a bit bigger also setting up as much plants as possible to absorb toxins, as well using my Prime to detox water after water change.
What does he do but set up two baby plecos, as well as a bunch of feeders after telling him not to have any fish with him, and only use as much feeder as he can eat in a day; well at least only seven left from about 20.
Today, found jardini lying quietly on the bottom, did a water test, ammonia is zero, but nitrite is 0.5ppm. I didn't even bother to test nitrate.
I'm throwing it out to you all. Should I just give up, let the poor fish die, or continue to try to care for it? Cause it's not my fish, he don't listen to advise anyway, seem to like to throw money away, and worse, I know I'm stressed, always bi**ching and moaning to my wife about his stupidity, and ofcourse
the wife is short w/me too.
I'm tired guys and I'm tired of everyother days doing this to my wife and she doing this back to me.
I'll do what the majority advise you guysgive.
