As previously noted I have been easing up on the food the result may be the lower ammonia level. Another possible side effect maybe more hungry fish. Their color continues to look very vibrant. They have had a nice deep red lately. They seem to he very hungry or have become very aware that 1) they are fed after I open the hood, 2) that I feed them in the right hand corner of the tank 3) that I feed them. I say this because they swim frantically over to me when I look into the tank, and they swim to the surface of the right hand side of the tank when I open the hood. After I dipped the ammonia test tube into the water I poured the excess water back in to the tank. At the spot where the water splashed back into the tank they bit/gulped water/air. They also go into a mini-frenzy when I feed them. Only the smallest particles of food get past them. I hope they aren't starving.
Temp: 77 (turned the thermostat up a nudge)
pH: Who can say? The pH meter still looks the same as when the fish store tested the tank at 7.6
Fed: 8:00 pm
NH3: 0.35
