cmor1701d's links sum up just about everything to get started. Welcome to AA!!!

Yo Doogle, Ammo is 0, rites 0 rates 2.5 ph 7.8, hardness not sure. I did a 25% yesterday and a 35% today. Basically this is all new to me, my wife got a platy with a table bowl, I got a 20gal, with the advice of a LPS I ran the tank for a few days, got a few fish 5 weeks ago, then learned about...

Welcome to AA! I'm sure I can learn a thing or two from you!!!

BTW the tank has 2platies, 2corys and 9ghost shrimp. Also she doesn't necessarily stay on top, now she's near the bottom hiding...

Had my MM platy about 5 weeks, a few days ago she started acting odd. Went from happy and swimming around to close to the surface near the thermometer, lethargic, reddish gills, not eating and trying to stay hidden. My other Platy (female also) kinda guards her, if I look in the tank she will...

OK I am on target. I just have heard so many things, I wanted to make sure. Today I fed the fish and one neon stuffed their gut so bad it ballooned up, then it puked some out and started chomping again. Now it's picking on the other neons...

The Cloudiness is a bacteria bloom and should go away in a few days. I'm having the same issue. Just keep up with the PWC's and testing your H2O everyday...

So, my concern is feeding the fish. There are 4-2" fish and 4-3/4" Fish as well as 9 ghost shrimp. I have been putting a pinch of ground flake in once a day. I realize fish will always eat, but there is so many contradictions out there... What's the proper way and amount???

My sis-in-law has a dog that looks like her, and her name is Roxy!

Ah, I figured some kind of crustacean! lol The ghost shrimp are very cool!

Forgive me Fort, but RCS? =)

Hi Cookie, welcome. Did you cycle your tank first?

Welcome to AA and good luck!

Now, I just put the 2 corys in yesterday, should I wait a few weeks to introduce shrimp just as I would more fish???

Darned if I don't learn something bout everyday on this site!

Will do! Have a bit of the cloudiness going on again. Should I wait it out? Will using a declouder help without messing things up??

From what I've learned, Angelfish are a part of the cichlid family and thou usually not aggressive, however, like ALL fish they will eat any fish that they can fit into their mouths...
