Awesome. I give them Omega One flakes, and sometimes brine shrimp soaked in garlic infusion, or bloodworm :) I think i overfeed at the beginning but im changing that now. I measure ph water tap after letting it sit overnight in a glass, and its down at 7.4 (high ph test) -7.6 (low ph test).

Oh yeah i use that since 5 days :)

Ok great. Thank you so much!

Yeah i read about their cycle. I was going to ask the pet shop if i can treat for ich just in case, even if it is not ich maybe. What are your thoughts? If its not ich, is the treatment bad for healthy fishes? For snails? For plants?

Well today no dot and no hiding fish... I keep an eye out.

Hi, Got black neon tetras on wednesday. Water parameters good. But one fish has a white spot since yesterday, hes hiding a lot under plant leaves. Should i worried?

Ok so i went and got 10 black neon tetra. Will see how it goes.

Hey So today after having a "cycled tank" ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate >25 For info : gh>4, kh8, ph7 I did a 75% water change. Now i have nitrite 0.25, nitrate >25, gh<3, kh3, ph 6.4 Do i have to wait? What should i do before to get the fishes? Also now i have a lot of tiny white worms...

Yeah i was thinking glowlight danio too because they are very pretty. Thanks for all the infos! Im excited to get my first fishes!!

So with what my local pet shop has available, im thinking of getting tetras, danios and gouramis. Should i begin with the danios? As my plants are growing? And should i put sand on top of the fluorite for these 3 types of fish? Its not for now, but i really dont know which tetra to get, they are...

I read somewhere that any food will do to add ammonia, and i had old bread lol i thought would decompose nicely. Was pretty gross but i did it once and bought some flakes instead. But apparently not ideal either. :p

Thank you!!!

I think they are ramshorn snails because of shape and behavior?! They are so tiny, but here pics.

Also today, which i thought was dirt on the glass, was 2 mini snails! Must have come from the aquatic plants or the previous gravel?!

Hi, Thank you for your reply. So if i add some neon tetras, do i change the water before or only after a few days? And do i clean the mould first or it will go away?

I got a new tank 20 days ago, learning all about freshwater fishkeeping, not getting my head around it all yet, so need help! First tank ever. My dad had many when i was little and last summer he got one and i spent a month there looking after it and loved it. So im going for it now! :) Im not...
