I'm planning on getting 2 fancy goldfish and a brittlenose pleco for my 38g tank. What's the best way to introduce these fish?
I know fancy goldfish produce a lot of ammonia and I've never owned them before so I'm a little cautious. Should I do a fishless cycle and introduce them 1 by 1 (if so, which first?)? Should I do the cycle with minnows and introduce them all at once? Should I use any product in the water? Help is much appreciated.
Also, feel free to leave any comments about the tank environment or any ideas you have! Planted, silk plants, sand, gravel, deadwood (for the pleco), amount of free space to leave, etc...let me know what you think please it will help me out a lot!
Thanks
Edit: I'm also purchasing a 10g betta tank for a bit of fun, so any betta tankmates that could do the cycle in this tank (then be moved to the betta tank) would be ideal!
