I have been planning on doing a fishless cycle, but I can't figure out how to get some used filter media to start it! I have a 20 gallon tank with a Tetra Whisper EX30 filter. It doesn't have fish in it right now, but I want to start cycling it in a week or so. Here are my questions:
Do I need the filter media that I will use to be compatible with the filter that I have?
Will the pet store give/sell me some (filter media)?
And out of curiosity, does anyone know of a small fish that lives alone/in pairs/very small groups (less than 5) that can live in a tropical community freshwater?
Please help!
