Hello everyone my name is Christina. I live in lebanon PA and love animals. I have 3 hamster a dog,cat, and a bunny. I am however new to having fish!.
I wanted to start small because im still new to the whole fish thing. had fish in the past and after 1week they would die, so after the 3rd one I just stoped because i wasnt ready in my opinion to have one. So after I found this site I was very HAPPY to see a post about Fishless Cycling and after reading it and taking notes I went on a hunt today to find pure ammonia to get it goin. After going to 7different places I happen to find the right stuff at Weis. I shook it and no FOAM! YAY!
I have a 10gallon tank with 3 small fake plastic plants. A aquaclear 20gallon filter, air pump and some polished stone gravel. I only plan to have 1 goldfish in this tank. When I went to petsmart today to buy the stones I saw a telescope goldfish and fell in love so I plan on getting one of those fish they said it can get up to 6inches...so im hoping it will be ok to put in a 10gallon tank.
Let me know what you guys and gals think!
I just started the fishless cycling today and tested it and the ammonia is a around 4 maybe a little higher!
THANKS-CHRISTINA
