My Aquarium

As of April 18th, my aquarium is still going quite well. I added 3 new fish to it: a Black Molly we named Extacy,

a Dalmatian Lyretail Molly named Cow,

and a Red Mickey Mouse Platy named Meep.

Also, we named our minnow Fish.

I noticed that Fish tends to stay near the top of the water, rarely going deeper than an inch while Meep is always alone in his corner on the bottom left side of the aquarium. Cow, earning his name seems to always be hungry. By far, he eats more than any of the other fish. He also tends to chill in the middle of the tank, swimming slowly in circles. Extacy, however, seems to be constantly darting around the tank and rarely eats. When he's not darting around, he hides behind Squidward's house.

For our ammonia and nitrate test, nothing has changes in the numbers. Ammonia is still at a 1.0 and nitrate is still at a 5.0. The only thing we can really do is double the amount of bacteria we've been adding to the aquarium. We plan to do this before the next water test.
