May 17



Our water quality throughout has been pretty good!  Overall we've taken very good care of them.  Some issues we had was when it got dirty we siphoned it and one time we did a full water change when four of our fish died. This was because our tests were kinda bad at first but we did succeed to get it to a normal level. Most of our fish died because Mrs. Wood gave us the wrong bottle on accident. It was supposed to be the dechlorinator but she gave us the bacteria instead!  So that showed us how important the water quality test is and to keep our tank well maintained.  After that there was a point our Nitrate was too low so we had to steal plants from anothter tank to keep it balanced.  Sadly, right when our tank was at the normal level and perfect we had to take them all home or give them away): However, we learned so much about different algae and polution, about nitrate and ammonia, dissolved oxygen, and the pH of the water during this interesting project!
