Aquarium Advice Addict
So this is my first tank ever, aside from a goldfish bowl. I have an Aqua Culture 10 gal setup, with a 10-15 filter, and a top and 2 lights. I purchased a water heater, thermometer, and a magnetic cleaner. I places black and mixed blue green rocks (after cleaning/ de chlorinizing them) and a large rock cave (said it was a natural and safe rock).
i have a water banana, and am growing a water lily (the box said it will practically grow no matter what lol) as for fish, the lady said i could have 2 or three, since it hasnt gone through a nitrogen cycle. The fish were assorted platys, and i got an orange one with a black face sopot on his tail, and a black one with a neon blue stripe on its back.
the heater is set to 75, and I am using a stability, new tank stabilizing system liquid by searchem. (it adds the natural bacteria i need in the bio filter)and i usedkordon amquel, ammonia, chlorine, and chloramines remover. I am nearing day three, and my fish look awesome. The banana looks as it did at pet shop, and the lily is still a bulb, but has settled down and i think is starting to show signs of growth. I plan to add a cleaner fish, or two (with the suction mouths under them lol) and i wantto put a few shrimp in this weekend, sicne my tank seems to be handling everything so well. Any tips, or advice, as i hardly know anything about this. My plans are to have more plants on one side, and a side under the filter with less plant action, what kind of pants are good for low light/high coverage -like a grass-) and what fish would go well together -nothing bigger than than an inch though)
btw i love the site, and have been browsing all day at work haha
