Test Results for the Following: * Ammonia Level: 0.25 * Nitrite Level: 0 * Nitrate level: 5.0 * Ph Level, Tank (If possible, KH, GH and chloramines): 7.2 * Ph Level, Tap (If possible, KH, GH and chloramines) no idea. Other Required Info: * Brand of test-kit used and whether strips or drops?: API drops. * Water temperature?: 74 degrees F. * Tank size (how many gals.) and how long has it been running?: 30 gallons, about a month and a half. * What is the name and "size of the filter"(s)?: Two tetra whisper 30gallon. * How often do you change the water and how much?: twice a week, between 25% and 50% * How many days ago was the last water change and how much did you change?: today, 25% * How many fish in the tank and their size?: three. Two about an inch and a half, one about an inch /maybe./ * What kind of water additives or conditioners?: Aquasafe. * What do you feed your fish and how often?: Peas three times a week, goldfish crisp food, frozen bloodworms, frozen vegetarian diet. * Any new fish added to the tank?: Two. * Any medications added to the tank?: Melafix and Prazipro. * List entire medication/treatment history for fish and tank. Please include salt, Prazi, PP, etc and the approximate time and duration of treatment. About four days of Melafix, now Prazipro. * Any unusual findings on the fish such as "grains of salt," bloody streaks, frayed fins or fungus? Nope. * Any unusual behavior like staying at the bottom, not eating, etc.? One of the little guys, Gaston the larger one, is still very floaty. The other, the small one Emile, seems very nervous. I'll come in and he'll be swimming a bit, then move and sit on the bottom at the back of the tank. Emil was floaty, but that went away yesterday. Now he seems to keep buoyancy fairly well, he doesn't look like he's sinking so much as going to the bottom on purpose. I'm getting kind of concerned with both of them. I don't know if after Bastion I am just very nervous and over reacting. I've been feeding them peas, they both eat well. Is there anything else I can do to help with Gaston's floating issues? He isn't stressed, he just wiggles underneath a leaf on the plant in there to sit. I just want him to be able to wiggle around happy. I hear not feeding for a few day could help, possibly? Also is there something wrong with Emile, and his slight bottom sitting or is it just because this is second day and he is still skittish and hiding? Also I think the ammonia and nitrate levels are just from the tap water. I only thought to test the water early because I noticed Emile sitting like that.
