Hi AA I'm a newbie to the hobby and are hearing people talking about the cycle and testing and WC(water changes) I let my tank sit for 28hrs with the filter and decor in the tank just to Clear my tap water as I use Big ALS water conditioner and bio support, I went the next day and got 3 platys and 3 white clouded minnows to start my cycle. I feed my fish what the store recommended which is omega one what they feed them in store. I was told to hold off on my water changes for the first 2 weeks to build bacteria and I haven't bought the API test kit yet as I hope to get that on Wednesday with my siphon, starting yesterday I saw a change in my water clarity it got cloudy and also my one platy started to slow down and just stay at the bottom of the tank, he/she is not dying at least I hope. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice and tell me if the guy at the fish store is setting me up for failure not cleaning my tank in 2 weeks, your feedback is greatly appreciated!!
