HI everyone, :) I have a 29 gallon community tank I've been slowly adding fish into. I just added 2 emerald copies last night and 1 dalmatian cory. I wanted to get more but that was all that was available at the store. I'm hoping to add more since my understanding is that corys like to be in...

Thanks for input.. I was worried since I used tetra safestart and still hadn't reached the recommended 2 week waiting period.. How much water should I change today or should I wait until tomorrow? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

These are the water readings today, day 3 and still no Ammonia or anything else, please see 4 uploaded pics.. Is that normal? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thanks for all the great advice.. Maybe I should get flakes since those might be easier to divide up? Or can I feed every other day? I'll check the levels tonight to see where we're At.. In terms of stocking, I'm thinking 2 dwarf gouramis or 2 honey gouramis, 6 Cory Doras, and maybe some mollies...
