This is a old topic ;) The tank looks nothing like this now and yes the plants are real.

It's almost down to zero now, thanks for your help! :)

Thanks guys :) It now has 5 neon tetras in at the moment. I want to have... 3 Blue Dwarf Gourami 5-10 Neon Tetra's 5 Peppered Cory Cats 1 Candy Striped Pleco 1 African Dwarf Frog Here's a new picture taken this week:

Seems to be getting there now :D Nitrites dropped to 0.50, Nitrates 5 and Ammonia still at 0.

Yep, Nitrates have got a little higher but not too much.

Done today's test and it's dropped a little from 2 to 1 :)

Ok thank you. Is a 25% water change ok or should I do more??

Anyone know?? Someone else told me that I should be doing water changes daily and to add salt to the tank.

So I've nothing to worry about then?? Will the test go back to normal again? If so how long will it usually take?

My 26 gallon tank has been cycling for just over two weeks now, probably going to be ready to add fish very soon hopefully! Here are some pictures of the tank from the first day... Day one: Day two: After one week: After two weeks:

LOL :lol: I'll get some pictures just for you once I get my tank ;)

I should have mentioned the Gourami's would be a male and female pair, that's how the shop sells them. Not sure what you want pictures of :? my tank hasn't arrived yet.

Thanks! :) I've read the Candy Pleco grows up to 10cm. The Gourami's are starting to confuse me though. I was going to get one and I was then told i should get two, then someone else suggested I should get three. So now I'm totally lost as to how many to get... :lol:

I'm going to be starting my first freshwater aquarium soon, the tank I'm getting is 25 gallons. Would these fish be ok in there? Blue Dwarf Gourami x 2 Threadfin Rainbows x 5 Panda Cory x 4 Candy Striped Pleco x 1 Thanks!
