I am testing the KH of my aquarium and want to know what reading of mg/L is best for mollies and swordtails?
I have two test kits for this, which gives the same measurement of 200 mg / l. The test kit API informed me that this measurement is suitable for mollies / Heller, but countries Nutrafin test each measurement over 105 mg / l is more appropriate for marine fish.
Do not worry about the hardness of mollies or Heller. 30 years ago when they were still quite similar to the wild caught ones, they require more attention to these kinds of parameters.

White-Seam Bettas
White-seam bettas are not picky about water chemistry, as long as the water is in the soft to moderate range (total dissolved solids of 50 to 200 parts per million, KH 0 to 3, pH 6. Weekly partial water changes of 20 to 30 percent with clean, aged water are sufficient to maintain a healthy habitat. A 15-gallon aquarium is a suitable space for a breeding group of two female and four male white-seam bettas. Lighting should be dim, but these fish will get used to brighter lighting, as long as disturbances outside the tank are kept to a minimum. Slow water movement is better than current, so a small air-driven sponge filter will provide plenty of filtration. A covering of floating or suspended plants completes all the tank decor the fish need. They will not fight much, though they will flare their gills at each other in defense of some personal space. The temperature should be 74 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit.Question: just done 50%water change are these readings ok
When your tank is cycled, you don't need to add anything to keep it cycled. Goldfish produce a large amount of waste, as compared to many other fish and so require a larger tank just to balance out their bioload against the tank's filtration capabilities. We recommend 20 gallons for the first goldfish and then 10 gallons for every additional fish. ), cycle your tank and once it's done, it will basically run itself with weekly water changes That is a common misconception. Stop using the product (trust me, it's easier in the long run, I used to use it too. Well the cycle contains bacteria that die off, this is why you need to add it every week. I had one that was about 5" long when I had my 18gal Eclipse 1 tank and the thing seriously fouled my filter (of course, this was before...
