Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I recently bought a 12 g nano cube and i am currantly waiting for it to cycle i have had it for about 10 days i have live rock and live sand in it.one of The fish store employees said that it was o.k. to put a tester damsel fish in the water about eight days ago, so i did without ever really changing the water because after i bought the fish another employee told me that i should have waited until algae started to grow.So two three days ago i noticed that the damsels mouth was deforming and his fin was roting just a incy bit.
so i called the one who knw a bit more about fish and nano cubes(because he has one himself)and he said it may be columinaris and that i should just wiat it out to see what happens.
The fish was shacking alot but yesterday and today he seems to be doing better and some brown algae is starting to appear and i was wondering three things
1: can the fish fight off the disese on his own without meds because i dont have a qt tank.
2:when should i add new fish and if i add them will they catch the disese from the tank even if or when i remove this current fish
3; when will i know if my tank is fully cycled,How much longer will it take?
Every one keeps giving diffrent advice or they are to busy to help me and end up being very rude to me.
Please help!
Thanks
