April 18

Are aquarium is better than it was ammonia nitrate wise but our fish arn't doing so well.  Four of our fish have died and they were all tiny Tetra fish.  We learned that tetras are not easy to take care of (we are doing everything right but they still died).  We also have Baileys small snails that are doing okay so far. But one wont come out of it's shell because we think it stressed out when we accidentally siphoned it up... whoops.  But our other one seems fine; it's actually moving around in our tanks. ONe of our yellow fish and red fish likes to hide behind a certain plant in the corner. Our water quality tests are also getting better each time.
4/9: Nitrate was 5.0 and Ammonia was 1.0
4/15: The Nitrate was 2.5 and Ammonia was .50
4/19: Nitrate was 5.0 and Ammonia was .25!
(except our nitrate went up again on 4/19)
This means our tank is cleaner because the poop factor went down I guess.  To make our tank cleaner we also added bacteria.
