Hi Im pint,
I am thinking of starting up a Tropical aquarium, I have two small chirdren in the house so have decided to start by getting a 17litre coldwater tank before I spend on a large tropical.
I set up the starter kit and followed all instructions given by the staff. Set up tank and filter left it for 1 week to break up tap water chemicals and get bactirial lvls up and added 1 fancy goldfish.....that died within 24hrs.
It is now set up with water conditioner and leaving it for 3 days before adding bacteria and fish.
Plz let me know if I am doing it wrong as this is the advice given by the 'staff' in pets at home.
thanks
