Uaru Fernandezyepezi-Panda Uaru Issues

What is the expiration date on your test kit? In a mature system, there should always be some nitrate present - even if it is extremely negligible.

You are correct, it's most likly very low between 1 & 6 PPM which is sometimes deffacult to tell with the color chart. At any rate still very good. I would consider that negligible.

Just got them the same time as the Uaru. Expiration late 2017. Next idea (sigh). Bottles for Part 2 are behind Bottle 1.

Hmmm ok, next idea. I remember reading in Trop Fish Hobbyist way back in the late 90s maybe of someone spawning uaru amphiacanthoides in a tank with all sides completely blacked out except for a small viewing window in the front. You could try covering the back and sides of the tank to give them more security & help them settle in more - not sure if you've done this already, just grasping at straws here.
