9/18 the ammonia and nitirite are still high even though we changed it yesterday. The 2 sharks still don't eat much, but they're managing.
9/19 Today we had to do a water change because the ammonia was a 1.0. We've had to clean our tank all week because our ammonia has been so high. And it's almost killed the sharks so we moved them to the other tank and they became okay overnight.
9/20 We had to do a water change again. Just half a tank though. The sharks seem to be doing well and adapting. And we now have 5 clams and they've been opening their mouths which lead us to think that they can feed (good) in the tank.
9/26 We had a shark jump out of the tank and die last night. So we have 5 clams and 1 shark left. Our ammonia is again really high, but we didn't have time to change it today. So we'll change it tomorrow.
9/28 we came into class and we had an empty tank. So we found our last shark on the floor, dead. I guess he jumped out too and died. So now we only have clams left and no fish. I won't get fish until we get our tank clean and livable to fish.
9/29 today we complelty cleaned our tank too to bottom. So hopefully in the next few days it will be a suitable fish tank.
9/30 today we found out that our tank is finally moving through the nitrogen cycle. The nitrite has gone up, and the ammonia is going down. Our clams have dug down in the gravel so we can't see them. But the big clam is doing good. Our tank seems to be pretty stable. And hopefully I'll get some new different fish soon.
10/1 the tanks water is still moving through the stages of getting clean.
10/2 it's still getting there. The clams still dig in the gravel, but open their mouths to feed.
10/4 the water quality is getting close, so we did a half tank water change to move it faster maybe.
10/6 were thinking tomorrow or the next day adding fish. I'm not sure if I can buy any, so I'll see if my partner can. But the clams are doing great and so is the tank.
10/8 today out water quality was good today and yesterday. So mrs. Wood let us put in fish finally. We took a grey fish with red too eyes and a small almost goldfish fish.
10/9 the fish are still alive! We gave our clams to our tank neighbors to have. Our tank is still really clear and is going through the nitrogen cycle. We're finally getting the tank healthy.
10/10 we have to do a half tank water change. The fish seem to be okay in the water cup. And hopefully the nitrogen will go back down like the ammonia did.
10/13 the water is getting better, no need for a water change. But we'll keep a close eye one it.
10/15 out tank is finally at 0 on the ammonia and nitrate. I'll check the nitrate tomorrow if I have time. But the 2 new fish are doing great and are eating regularly and seem to live happy together. Not much food has built up on the gravel so that's good. But the filter needs to be cleaned off.
10/16 our water is still good but our nitrate is a little high. So we added water to the tank. So we'll check it tomorrow to see if we have to make a water change.
10/17 the nitrate did go down. So we don't have to do a water change. The fish are still happy and eating great.
10/18 today the fish were super excited to eat today and we're swimming around a lot. The ammonia and nitrite are still at 0.
