I picked up the 10 Yunnanilus sp. ‘rosy’ today from a drop-shipper, so since I was not able to observe them and they are almost certainly wild, they are not in the quarantine aquarium for the next 4-6 weeks. The water the loaches came out of was:
- KH: 9.5 ° (170 ppm)
- GH: 19 ° (340 ppm)
- ammonia: 0.25 ppm
- nitrite: 0 ppm
- nitrate: 40 ppm
- pH: 8.2
And, after acclimatisation, they have gone into:
- KH: 7 ° (125 ppm)
- GH: 19 ° (340 ppm)
- ammonia: 0 ppm
- nitrite: 0 ppm
- nitrate: 20 ppm
- pH: 7.8
I put down the ammonia in the water they came with down to the water being of dechlorinated chloraminated water… I think I just made up a word :-S
