I’ll prob start with a really nice Betta and perhaps a mystery snail, then maybe I’ll chance with few larger shrimp at some point. If I feel courageous lol. Thing is I can’t put them in my other tank if the Betta gets aggressive towards them as I have Kribensis :/

It’s a shame you can’t judge a fishes temperament before purchasing lol. I forgot Pygmys needed to be kept in groups. Probably stay away from those... what an African frog?

They are nice looking. Haven’t thought about what type I want yet.. I was thinking of a snail or shrimps... but I think the Betta would eat the shrimps... what about Pygmy corys?

Yeah.... seeding from my other tank so hopefully that will jump start the cycle. I want a nice Betta in there... don’t think there’s space for much else lol

Just thought I’d show an impulse purchase. Wanted a smaller tank to keep a Betta. Just cycling now. :)

Thanks. It’s getting there I’m sort of happy with how it looks. I do a large water change weekly and that seems to keep my parameters in check. I just feel there’s a lot of empty space at the top that fish don’t use. The cardinals don’t move much from where they are positioned in the picture.

Thought I’d show what the tank currently looks like

Hi there. I currently own an 80l tank. Thanks to people help in here I have managed to fully cycle and start stocking fish. Fish have been gradually added over time, minimum of 1 week apart. My stocking levels are currently at the following: 4 x black fin corys 2 x Kribinsis m&f 10 x Cardinal...

Done that and just added 3 black fin corys to start. Just need to decided exactly what else I want now.

Me again lol. So it’s been a week since I last tested and did a 50% water change. Only thing that has increase is the nitrates. Looks like my tank has cycled. I’m looking to do 75% water change next and start stocking with fish. :)

21 days since I set tank up. 50% water change today, and these are the readings. So I’ll test again in 7 days and hopefully the only difference should be the nitrates have spiked?

Should I test the water directly after water change?

Yeah, to keep the nitrates down. I’ll hold off from adding any fish for another week to ensure the tank is fully cycling. I’ll test after 7 days, saves wasting the liquid in the test bottles. Thanks King Fisher

Ok makes sense. Should I test daily, or every 3 days?
