Hi,
I have a 30 gallon cold water fish tank with 1 common goldfish in it, i previously had a 6 gallon tank with 2 other fancy fish in it but they died when i moved them into the new tank. I had very little knowledge of fishkeeping when i done this.
This was done over 2 months ago and i have been regulary testing my water and speaking to john who has been keeping me right with water changes etc.
i done a water test using my api testing kit 2 nights ago and the ammonia levels had dropped to what looked like zero, and the nitrites had risen to what looked like about 1.0ppm, my ph has always been steady at around 7.4 and the nitrates have always looked to be zero. I carried out a 50% water change which halved the nitrites.
I have just done another test and the nitrites look around 1.5-2.0.
Can anyone give me any advice on what i should be doing. im assuming i want to be doing regular water changes and keeping feeding to a minimum im just wandering how long this process will take, the good news is my goldfish looks very happy and everything seems ok its just i no nitrites can still be very harmful and i want to keep stress to a minimum, any help would be really appreciated.
thanks
Joe
