Howdy y'all as I'm new to the forum I figured I'd give a shout out to all of ya nice to meetcha I just set up my first tropical tank :) it's been a bumpy road as all the first fish I put in (sailfin Molly m and Molly f 2 Yamato shrimp and a couple o coolie loaches died so I restocked and they were cool until the ich pets at home infected me with lol I'm currently treating it but a quick question how long does the water stay blue for ??? Other than that my new fish apart from a mild itch are settling in nicely except the male Betta who has issues with the sail fin :) anyway would love to hear from ya all about ich treatments and what amazing fish u all have :) oh lol I'm Jak btw :)

Thanks all the ich page helped slot unfortunately the cycling page wouldn't open but I assume it means changing the water every week or so but leaving enough to let the appropriate bacteria accumulate if I'm wrong I'd appreciate someone filling me in plz :) and thanks all for the warm welcome

I just learned about cycling but I already have fish. What now?!

Hmm... For some reason it is on Page 2. It's a little more than changing the water every week. It does deal with the bacteria that forms in your filter.
