thank you

did you add any bacteria? live sand? live rocks?

So i set up my tank and have had it running for about a week now, and i bought some rubble with coralline algae on it to add to the tank in hopes of getting it started, i also bought some purple up to help advance the growth. but it just occurred to me that it might die while cycling. So my...

No it's already overstocked as it is, and definitely not a beta with the barbs, they love to nip

The point of doing the water changes is to speed the cycling process up, goldfish are a hardy fish, they can handle it. The goldfish will survive it, would you rather put in some other tropical fish in there for the cycle that wouldn't survive it? Would you rather kill a 10 cent goldfish that's...

Yes i test the water parameters every week

feeder goldfish are perfectly fine going through a cycle, i've done it with every one of my tanks; are doing it now, and i work at a fish store and that's what everyone there recommends. they're not "resistant" to it but aren't as sensitive to it as other fish, for example, neon tetras being...

it takes about 4-8 weeks for a tank to cycle, but you need either ammonia or a fish for it to cycle. what i do, and are doing right now, is add a couple large feeder goldfish in the tank, add some bacteria, and don't do a water change, or touch the filter until the tank cycles. the goldfish will...

aquaclear is a hob filter but by far is my favorite

the bacterial bloom will die down, add a new carbon and buy some acurel water clarifier, it works wonders

you could add a couple more fish, i would add just one more molly, because 3 is the minimum recommended, you could add 3 guppies or neon tetras too, but unless you remove the goldfish it would then most definitely be in full stocking capacity. but if the moor gets any bigger you would have to re...

You could do platys, guppies, most tetras, and rasboras. you could do a dwarf gourami as well, i've kept all of those fish together at one time or another without problem. for algae you could do a lot of things, a bristlenose pleco, siamese algae eaters, otocinclus catfish, mystery snails...

I love the combination, I love dwarf gouramis, i would rehome the rummynose and two algae eaters and get three dwarf gouramis

Try Cobalt, it's a great fish food and had probiotics in it

It's fine to leave on as long as there is enough water to keep the flow going, if not turn it off

I recently cycled a new brackish tank, I work at a fish store and i've asked people about this and they all said it could work. What are your opinions on these fish together in a 30? 3 Figure Eight Puffers 1 Green Scat 2 Blackfin Sharks 2 Bumblebee Gobys Once the Blackfin Sharks exceed about...
