Thanks a lot dear. I unfortunately always have a hard time keeping cardinals or neons. I do have them but initially a few dies before settling in. Like if i put seven i ll end up having six and like this. I even drip acclimate them. Don't know what's wrong. I don't have any problems with any other fish even the delicate ones like German and electric blue rams.They are at 25 oC in the book I have on tropical fish, it says the betta and tetras are ok at that degree? In summer the tank got to 27/28 oC on very hot days and had no adverse effect on them
Thanks. Yeah in the early days of hobby i didn't know if tank cycling is a thing.I have the opposite, I can keep tetras but lost 2 dwarf gourami and 4 guppies within days/ months of getting them! I started off with 10 neon Tetra, I knew nothing of the nitrogen cycle so put them in 4 days after I set up the tank, 1 ended up in the filter within a week but I rescued it and it lived. I lost 2 unexplainably about 6 months after that. And now I’ve had my 8 neon Tetra 13 months and 6 cardinals just over a month. My Betta 3 days up to now so fingers crossed
That's great. Good luck. Happy fish keeping.I know to clean my tank media in tank water and have done from the start. I got my guppies about 4 months after set up, and gourami I got a month ago when I got the cardinals, so the tank should have been cycled by then
