Take it easy on me, I’m new ?
I have so many questions and YouTube and google seem to just make me more confused.
First, I have a brand new aquarium so it’s not cycled yet. I see everywhere that they sell products to cycle it quicker but do those work? And how? Just put it in the water and wait a few days to add fish? Or do I also have to add other products.
Second, I want to get blood parrot fish and flowerhorn. I’m only growing them a little in a small tank before transferring to my very large one but the guy at the fish store said with these fish it would be best to buy them all at once to prevent aggressiveness. But wouldn’t adding 6 fish at once be too much? It’ll be a 40 gallon but I’m buying the fish small they don’t even have any color and believe about 2 inches a fish.
Any help, suggestions thank u!
