Thank you, I started the cycle and after 5 days my water parameters are
Temp: 81.5
Ammonia: 0.25p.p.m.
Nitrite: 0.0p.p.pm
Nitrate: 5.0p.p.m
pH: 7.4
I just feel like these numbers are not normal for 5 days of cycling. In your opinion should I keep doing what im doing or am I messing...
Thanks for the advice I made things happen and im getting the 75 gallon tomorrow. Have any filter, heater, typical tank equipment to recommend for that size tank?
So basically if I try to cycle the tank with these fish it will either kill most of them or just take a super long time and in that time they will have outgrown the 20g tank?
Im about to upgrade to a 75 Gallon tank so how much time would I have before these fish outgrow the tank? Would I be able to keep the Oscar and the Pleco in the 75 gallon? I understand that these fish will be way too big for the 20g but its been too long so I would be unable to return them.
The fish are a 1.5in Tiger Oscar Cichlid, 2in Betta, 3.5in Common Pleco and a 4in Electric Blue Crayfish. Im really upset with myself since I didn't do any research before hand. Im willing to do whatever it takes to save these fish though, so thanks for the advice.
I messed up and now I need to know how to save this Tiger Oscar Cichlid from New Tank Syndrome. 4 fish in a 20g tank, is it safe to start the in fish cycle now since the tank was never cycled? Or will that not even save the poor guys life?
My name is Brock and I recently acquired a 20g freshwater aquarium from a neighbor who was unable to properly take care of them. I joined this site hoping that I would be able to receive some advice on how to bring these fish back into good health. The tank is stocked with a 2in Male Betta...
