Hi all,
Against everyones opinion I went with using fish to cycle my tank. So far things have been fine. Been checking water daily and doing water changes as neccesary. No large ammonia spike yet, but it is starting to show up on tests.
Added a bit of decoration and a background to the tank, plan on doing a bit more with it.
I have thinking about having Angels as a centerpiece fish but everywhere I read there are contrasting opinions on what the adult size will be. I have seen everything from 4" to 10" which makes a big difference on the stocking plan.
Also I want to add a pleco or two once the tank is cycled. But would prefer the smaller variety in the 4-5" range. The lfs stocks snowballs which I think have an excellent look, but havent found what there adult size would be.
Thanks for everyones help.
