What do test's say for ammonia,nitrites,nitrAtes?

 

[colaudrey]

are you acclimating them correctly, or throwing them in after coming home?

ph is 6.5, ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrates are low but not 0.
I acclimated them by scooping tank water in their bag over about an hour's time.

Might add a couple drop's of dechlorinator such as Prime(which detoxifies ammonia) to the bag while acclimating.
I have not kept these man made fish,but have cared for danio's a few times and they seem to like cooler temp's and more alkaline water.
But as I said,,these are man made mutant fish, and may be weaker overall than regular danio's.

Thanks, I did add Prime to the bag and the tank temp is 77, I'll try a water change. I'm just so upset that they didn't make it, especially at $6 a fish.

do you know your kh or gh?

Ours have been just as hardy as your typical Zebra Danios. They have been surviving our bout of badluck with neons better then anyone.

Tank:
7.6 pH
180kH
300gH
nitrite 0ppm
nitrate 5ppm
ammonia 0ppm

never had a problem with mine. neat fish.

Thanks for the info everyone, I will purchase a gh/kh test kit soon. Meanwhile, my last danio seems healthy and very active, if he's alive tomorrow I'll pick up some more glofish.
