Hello Everyone!
I have been looking over this forum for a couple days and finally decided to join! I have a couple questions as this is the first time I have ever had pet fish. Currently, I have a 20G with 4 Guppies and 10 White Cloud Minnows that I got as feeder fish to cycle my tank.
Here are my questions:
1. What can I put in my tank so that I have some fish at the bottom level?
2. How often should I vacuum the gravel/ do a PWC/change the filter? (I was told by the pet store not to change the water or vacuum for at least a month to give the bacteria time to grow)
3. Is there a way to keep the guppy population down? I didn't realise that they would have so many babies? What do others do? Should I get a fish that will eat the fry?
I think that is it for now... Thanks!!
