Hey All,
Got my first tank, a 30 gal with a 160gal/hr filter, and 150w heater. I left my tank on and filled with water but no fish for about 1-2 weeks. I then added 5 neon tetra's and 6 gold tiger barbs, approximately 4 days later (today) I found one of my tetra's floating 8O
Due to lack of funds I was unable to buy a nitrite and ammonia test kit until today and did so as soon as I saw the casualty; both nitrites and amonnia are @ 0 (or very low).
Did I get a dud tetra? I saw no outward signs of stress, and the remaining fish seem to be quite happy, the barbs swimming around the tank and the tetra's swimming in the filter current.
Also any advice on what other fish to put in this tank and how many? I have been thinking about some loaches and maybe some gouramis?
Ok well thanks in advance,
