|  1st Fish
My new 200 litre tank has been running now for over a week so i decided after reading a few posts that i would introduce my new blue/yellow damsel,to help with the cycle, parameters are
temp 26
ph 8.2ppm
nitrite 0ppm
nitrate 5ppm
ammonia 0ppm
sg 1.025
as the title suggests will he be alright or is this little fishy on death row if so what can i do to help him through my cycleing process & make him more comfortable,
Thanks... |

Death row is his natural habitat in your tank he does not have to worry about being somethings food. I have used these same fish for well since 1970 and I have not had one to just up and die.. And once their job is done its free room and board and easy living for many many yrs to come.. I wish I had it so bad as a Human.
