Well, I’ve tested my chemical levels multiple times in the last few days and it looks like both of my tanks are fully cycled now.  The Ammonia levels are now sitting at pretty much 0 ppm and Nitrites are starting to get converted to Nitrates as well.

Since my last post, what I’ve done is I’ve moved my Pleco from my 55 gallon tank and put him into my 46 Gallon tank with my two Oscars.  Eventually I’ll have to make some changes as a 46 Gallon is too small for two Oscars and a Pleco but for now they seem to be getting along quite nicely.

In my other tank, I have not seen any further deaths since the massacre that took the lives of 8 of my fish in one night.  Now that my 55 Gallon is fully cycled, I might think about stocking a few more smaller fish in there but I’m kind of contemplating getting rid of my Pictus Catfish and my Giant Danio’s and just getting some slow fish.  The Danio’s and Pictus are just so skittish that it kind of ruins the mood of the tank when they go flying around at warp speed nine.
