3/4/2019- 4.0 grams of size 2 fish food were fed to the trout. The pH of the water was 6.0, and the concentration of nitrites was 0 ppm, which suggests that the addition of nitrifying bacteria and Special Blend bacteria helped reduce the concentration of nitrites.

3/6/2019- 4.0 grams of size 2 fish food were fed to the trout. The pH of the water was 6.4. Check out the slow-motion video of the trout! https://youtu.be/GlYAkHE3uRg

2/25/19- The pH of the water first thing in the morning was 6.4. I fed 3.2 grams of size 2 food to the trout. The pH of the water at the end of the day was 6.0.
2/26/19- The pH of the water first thing in the morning was 6.4. I fed 3.5 grams of size 2 food to the trout. A 6-gallon water change was done in the afternoon.
2/27/19- The pH of the water first thing in the morning was 6.4. I fed 3.2 grams of size 2 food to the trout. 
2/28/19- The pH of the water first thing in the morning was 6.4. I fed 3.5 grams of size 2 food to the trout. 
03/01/19- The pH of the water first thing in the morning was 6.0. I fed 4.0 grams of size 2 food to the trout. At noon, I fed 2.0 grams of size 2 food. It appears that the larger fish still have extended bellies, which suggests that the larger fish are still eating the smaller fish.
WATER QUALITY
  • pH = 6.0-6.4
  • Ammoni = 0.25 ppm
  • Nitrites = 0.25 ppm
  • Nitrates = 40-80 ppm

I added of 15 mL Special Blend and 15 mL of Nitrifying Bacteria to the tank.
