Aquarium Advice FINatic
Ok I have a few questions today so please bare with me! I am getting ready to set up an either 6 gallon tank or a ten gallon tank for my grandma this week. What fish would work well in them? She was going to get a single betta but I showed her some guppies and she really liked them. Would some guppies be okay in a 6 gallon or a ten gallon? If so how many? Would we be able to put anything else in with the guppies? Like some shrimp or otos or snails? I am just trying to find some options for her. So any suggestions would be awesome! My next question is about heaters. I am going to be giving her my heater which is a preset (it was all I could afford at the time but it heats up my 20 gallon pretty well) and I am buying a new heater. I was looking at aqueon ones. Are they any good? Any other suggestions would be great! Nothing to ridiculously expensive but in the 20-30 range would be good! And my last question when I start her tank up can I just seed the filter with one out of my fish tank? Mine has been up and running for almost a year now. Would that be okay but I have also been treating for internal parasites in my tank. Would they be transferable from transfer of filter? If yes is there anything I could do? Or would I be better just trying to cycle her tank? She is older and just thinks you can throw fish in a new tank and that be that she doesnt quite get the cycle thing haha so thats why I am trying to help her and I will be doing the weekly (or more if needed) water changes. Ok I am sorry this was so long! I just always have new questions everyday! So thank you guys in advance!
