Okay, I think in part I might be over-feeding. (Mostly due to the variety of fish I have and to ensure that a few fish don't eat all the food and starve the others)
Anyways, I am going to reduce feeding I think.
Would the next recommendation be to do a 2 or 3 10% water changes this week?
I am probably a bit overstocked....
45 gallon, with a Fluval 304 cannister filter and a Penguin 170Bio-wheel/power filter, and Live plants...
1 x African butterfly (2"
5 x Glass/Ghost Cat
1 x African Black Ghost (4"
3 x Cories (small)
2 x Khuli loaches
1 x Dojo Loach
1 x Striped Loach (2"
3 x Swordtails
16 x Neons
2 x Australian Rainbow
1 x Pleco
3 x Twig Cats (2 very small ones)
2 x small long fin rainbows
(one is the size of a neon, the other a small danio)
2 x Australian Rainbow
(These are about 3inches, they grew fast & eat fast)
Note, other than the Pleco, Dojo loach, BGK, and the Australian Rainbows all the fish are under two inches with the majority under 1".
I am picking up an additional 30gallon tank from a friend later this month. None of the fish have shown any symtoms of discomfort and usually seem to be quite happier in my tank than in the LFS. However, the levels did show up a bit higher than I am comfortable with. I also, had a very busy month and so did only a single 20% water change every 2 weeks.
Am fairly new to this level of aquarium keeping. 10 yrs ago I had a 12 gallon, fish did fairly well...but I had no clue about water testing, etc. (They must have hated me every time I replaced the entire filter material... *lol*) So I am learning....
