Sorry for the long read but I wanted to make sure I got down all the details, the problem is bolded on the bottom. So in mid May I got two albino juvenile axies from Margie they were about 2/3 inches ( and absolutely perfect!) and have been growing like crazy (the larger one being about 6 inches and the now smaller one being about 5.5/5.75). They are both in a small 10 gallon tank for the time being (I have a 20 long but cant set it up until august because im moving around).
I do not have exact tank readings at the moment (I cant find a liquid test kit for the life of me, I used strips before but no matter what they didnt change much...) I do have a seachem ammonia thing in the water which is supposed to change colors if the ammonia levels get to more than .5 ppm and it shows less than that so I'm assuming the ammonia level is fine. Because I cant test the water I'm assuming the cycle isn't so great (long story short I had to move for a month and will have to move again in two weeks for another month and then I'll finally be settled for at least a year, so I'm not caring too much about the cycle) and am changing probably 90% of the water every 2-3 days.
The main issue here is that while the larger one seems perfectly fine and a very healthy white like I've seen on many other people's pictures, the smaller one seems to be getting very yellow...
