Mumma.of.two said:Hi and welcome!
Not much is suitable for a 3G tank. You are pretty much limited to a Betta, shrimp, snails, 2 male guppies or maybe some nano fish would be suitable.
I'd the tank cycled??

Mgonza11 said:I think so... See the thing is the folks at the pet shop recommended two mollies and two platys and to expect the ammonia levels to spike before the cycle is over. Also they said to avoid changing the water for two weeks and just use water conditioner until the cycle was done. Well after two weeks all my fish died. I think I got some bad advice and after doing some research I realizes where I made my mistakes.
So I guess my prolonged response is should I clean the tank or just use new water, also I have pretty hard water from the tap so should I use bottled water instead.
