Artemia and WAS feeding microworms. However…I’ve decided to stop the microworms for now, as the paros don’t seem to enjoy eating them. I’m guessing I’m feeding too much and will be resolving that…I will now be feeding 1/16th teaspoon artemia every other day and nothing the other days until I have other foods the paros actually consume (this trio doesn’t seem to eat nearly an eighth of a teaspoon of artemia). The bottle filter has yet to produce any noticeable nitrate…not a good sign 🙁 Maybe too little air going into it? Anyhow, after 40% water changes yesterday the total ammonia read out at .5 ml/l (implying I misread the test kit…that still means 1 ml/l total ammonia was in the tank, though 🙁 ) Until I figure out how to keep this tank reasonably clean, I will be doing 40% water changes twice weekly. There are thriving water sprite and java moss in this tank, so not sure why they seem to be absorbing so little ammonia.
