Aquarium Advice Newbie
I guess I need help in every area.
I know from nothing about fish other than I like fish 'n chips and smoked salmon.
My wife went to an estate sale last week-end and come home with what she said was a real bargain, a 10 gallon aquarium complete with filter, heater and stand.
We cleaned it up, filled it up with tap water and started the pump/filter. The pump/filter is a Dynaflo 1, my first question is does anyone know what kind of filter media goes in it? It came without any.The fish guy at Petsmart was very unhelpful. I let the tank sit for 24 hours to dissipate any chlorine and went back over to Petsmart and bought three 29 cent goldfish to see if I was competent enough to keep them alive. After 24 hours the fish are indeed still alive and swimming actively, however the water has turned slightly cloudy, why?
What else do I need to know that I don't know I need to know? Help!!!
