Today we did a full water change! We took all of the fish out of the tank and put them into a bucket with the bubble makers. Then, We took all of the water out of the tank and turned off all of the machines in the tank.We also cleaned out the filter. When we finished that, we added in neutralizer into the tank and filled it back up with water and put in the fish. They seemed pretty stressed at the end (which is what we expected) so we decided to wait until afternoon to feed them again to let them have some time to calm down. We have started feeding them less because of the increased amount of nitrate we have had but other than that, the fish are fine! Come back next Thursday for our next blog post!

We have decided that we are going to stop using our automatic dish feeder due to the over-distribution of food. It always dispensed too much or too little amounts of food and will only be used on weekends now. We are also feeding the fish much more food than last time we blogged. The fish are growing at a very fast rate. Be sure to check out our live stream and come back next Thursday for our next blog post! |
