Jennifer V Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Hi All! I've had my tank setup for about four weeks. It has a few swords that are starting to grow and more plants are on the way. I feel like I'm almost ready for fish but I'm not sure. I test my tank levels every other day. For the last two weeks, my levels have been 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5 ppm nitrate. Should the nitrates be higher? If so, how do I safely increase a tiny bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Parameters seem good, how big is the tank and what would you add first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer V Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Oh! I forgot to mention that! It's a 10g tank and I want to get some pea puffers for it. My new plants should be here tomorrow. Should I wait a few weeks until they start growing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
