Hello! This is my first aquarium. I'm super excited.. Well a bit too excited. I began my tank with the help from a friend. So far this is what I have:
10 gallon tank
Artificial plants
10lb of substrate
Filter
Heater
Water purification drops
Fish flakes
We began normal with purifying water. Then, he brought foam from his filter that I used in my tank to jump start the cycling process. He also gave me 2 fish to help further things along. However, I became a bit impatient and got 6 neon tetras a day later because they are relatively cheap.... I am now worried my fish may die because of how fast I am pushing along the process. Do you guys have any recommendations? Would buying bacteria supplements help? I love my fish. Help please?
