Well I'm gonna do the blanket thing tomorrow. For telling you whats in my tank like nitrate, nitrites, ammona, and phosphate...I have no clue cuz I haven't been able to get any test stuff yet....this week tho when i get paid I will cuz i want to know whats in that tank. I have no live plants, and its not in direct sunlight. However I do have enough fish in it....i have 2 sucker fish..small ones....., 3 cichlids which are dirty fish, and a tiger barb, and 1 catfish. The catfish and the cichlids are all both about 4" long. i'd like to get at least another tiger barb tho, so it won't be alone. I have pics of my tank on my profile in here if you's like to look what i had in there. Its different now. Its startin to clear up abit after doing like 2 partial water changes a week and cuttin down on the light.
