Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I am starting a 55 gallon goldfish aquarium. It has been in a fishless cycle since Jan 9th. I'm right in the middle of it with all levels showing (ammonia, nitrite and nitrate). I have agreed to take in a unwanted Oranda (Med) goldfish and four weather loaches. The current owner is downsizing. They have told me the weather loaches are about 10 inches! SO, I have a few questions: I pick them next sunday.
1. When should I start lowering my temperature and ammonia levels to continue the cycle but keep it safe for the new fish?
2. What's the best way to transport them? (Its about a 2 hour trip to my house from theirs)
3. Will the weather loaches be fine in a 55 gallon? (All the research I've done says yes, just wanted to see if anyone with them agrees)Owner says they have been great together.
