Ok so no rainbows, they're so beautiful but I couldn't stress them out by keeping them in too small a space. So instead I'm going for 6 male guppies at the moment with 3-4 small (dwarf) corys to go with the 4 danios, I'll get 2 more danios if the 4 seem unhappy or troublesome in a small group...

Thanks for taking time to reply

And if the pH is high what does that mean in terms of tank care/cycling?

Thanks everyone

Ok I'll be patient!

Hi I'm still figuring out the cycling of my tank but planning what will go in eventually. I'm not going to add all these at once. Being new to the hobby is like your opinions.. Introducing in this order... 6 zebra danio 3-4 cory habrosus (or another small sort!) 3 fancy guppy 2 rainbowfish A...

For reference here's yesterday's below. I did a 30%water change after this, 24hrs later took day 5 samples above.

Thanks for your help folks. So I tested the tap water which showed no nitrates or nitrite but a trace of ammonia (0.125ppm at an estimate!) Then I tested the tank... No nitrite at all, definitely less the yesterday. More 'blue' than purple. Ph 7.6 No nitrate either (I shook the bottle and...

Thankyou Caliban I'm feeding them every other day as I heard that keeps ammonia down and shouldn't do any harm. The 4 danios seem quite happy at the moment. I will definitely test the tap water too.

Ok thanks.

When will I know if it's cycled enough for me to add more fish?! If I've added QuickStart the ammonia may never 'spike' right... So I'm looking for 0 ammonia and 0 nitrite. I guess I don't really know because I have pretty close to that now! Will just have to monitor it and see what the...

Hi folks I'm just a starting out. Had coldwater fish when I was a little girl and have wanted to set up an aquarium for ages but my husband wouldn't 'let' me! We have a baby girl who is partially sighted and I thought an aquarium would be a nice stimulus for her growing up. I now own a 98l...

Hi all, Ok, so please don't berate me for the things I've done wrong. I'm new to this malarkey and thought that API QuickStart would work... Now I'm not so sure. I set up a 98 litre (25US gallon) tank 4 days ago. Plastic plants. I used Tetra AquaSafe to dechlorinate the water and API...
