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

Today I just checked the levels, please see attached pics.. I do see Ammonia went down but still reading at .25 to .50 and nitrate and nitrite still at 0 ? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi? Thank you for feedback.. Since I've started cycling.. I haven't really read any readings for ammonia or anything else.. I've fed fish every day And do have that piece of driftwood from lfs tank in there and 1 live plant .. I haven't changed or added any water since this process started and...

Hi ? Thank you so much for feedback.. I did add a piece of driftwood from local petstore's tank.. So I'm hoping that is adding beneficial bacteria and helping out ? I have the Flyval 206 and it hangs on top and creates bubbles.. I keep looking at the test samples and don't seem to see any...

Sorry another few questions.. Would you suggest I get an air stone? Also I've noticed a lot of people recommending seachem prime so I wanted to get ( I currently have Aqueon prime) and also wanted to get some sort of plant food for my 1 plant.. Does this seem ok? Sent from my iPhone using...

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...

Thanks, I did add a small piece of driftwood from the lfs .. I'm hoping that helps Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thank you again.. I really do hope it works.. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi thank you for the input. Please do not think I didn't want to follow your advice.. The only reason I did not was because the ammonia levels in that tank were not good at all and I didn't want to chance it with this new tank.. I will do daily tests And do water changes as appropriate.. I just...

Hi everyone..

So far ammonia is non existent but I'm guessing tonight that might...
