Hi all
Ok, so I had my first 10g tank for about 10 weeks with two comet goldfish and both have now died (because I knew nothing about cycling, etc).
I am not going to let this unpleasant experience put me off and now that I have picked up good advice and tips from AA I am confident of doing a better job next time around!
However I do have one question......
If i were to start a new tank would it be advisable to use the gravel, plants, filter that I already have bearing in mind the second of my fish died from a severe case of fin rot. I don't want to transfer any bad stuff to a new setup and have same problems over again!
By the way I will be doing a fishless cycle this time (that is the biggest lesson I have learnt thanks to all you AA members)
Any advice welcome.
