My Aquarium

            My aquarium is doing well for the most part. The filter is running well with many bubbles blowing. There is no sign of cloudy water, just clear. Although that is still good, some things have changed. We have added a few things, but also taken away some. The tank now has some vegetation or plant life for three organisms we added. It is thriving and still alive, however my fish isn’t. I came to class the other day and my fish was dead. The Betta fish is alive, but found a different home. Yes, we don’t have any fish at the moment because we wanted to buy two fish that would live well together to survive. Other than that, the aquarium is still building up algae in small amounts each day.

            We also had a water quality test today. Ours went great because we had the expected and acceptable values. The temperature is right at the limit of about 82 degrees Fahrenheit, which is okay for the fish to live in. Next we performed the Nitrate test and got the result of 0ppm of a true yellow color. This means that our water is a perfect environment for the fish to be a part of. Then the Ammonia test, here we had a level of 0.25ppm showing as a greenish-yellow color. It is not a perfect result, but it is acceptable for the fish to be in a tank with this amount. With the quality of our water, the aquatic life will not be killed or harmed. Due to these results, we still did not have to change anything about our aquarium.
