My Aquarium




Meg and I have had successfully kept up our aquarium. It is doing well and surviving. The filter is working and blowing bubbles. The water is clean, no cloudiness. The plants we added a couple weeks ago are still alive, but with few leaves on them now. They seem to gravitate towards the window, since that is the source of our light. The fish are finally staying alive and interacting well with one another. We feed them every other day and they are still good. However, the water level of the tank dropped. I’m not sure why, but it was lower when we came to school one day. Besides that everything is great.
The last time we checked the water quality was September 30th. The temperature remained constant at 82 degrees Fahrenheit. The ammonia level is a 0.25ppm, while the nitrate was a 5ppm. These levels are acceptable, meaning that our aquarium is a good environment for the fish to live. They aren’t going to die because of high ammonia or nitrate levels. The plants are helping keep this balance.
