Aquarium Advice Newbie
I just added the air stone today because of my concerns of dissolved oxygen being low in the lower part of my tank. I have my heater set to about 76-78 and I have filtration good for up to 20 gallons... Which will be the next thing I do... Get a better/higher capacity filter.
Once I don't kill any of the fish I'll consider real plants but I'm taking baby steps.
I ran the tank for a week or so, added tetra safestart and added the fish about 2 hours later. 5 platys, 5 guppies, and 2 snails because why not?!
I am currently trying to establish my bio filter and until then I bought a ammonia neutralizer that turns it into the ammonia that isn't acutely toxic. Still hope to get to 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, and 20 nitrates soon!
Couple questions, how much should I feed them and can someone link a good video demonstrating how to vacuum substrate? And how do you change a filter since that is where your bacteria grow on?
Thanks!
