Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi all. Wife and I are complete rookies. We went out yesterday and bought a 10 gallon tank for tropical fish. We cleaned everything in warm water, and its running right now. Temp is set at 78F. We were told by the Petco people, not to add fish for 5 days. And when we come back they will test the water.
1. We are looking for tropical community fish, what would you recommend for us rookies? The store recommended mollies and tetras.... And how many should we buy at the first visit?
2. What type of water tester should we get?
3. We would like to get some algea cleaner type fish, but I would assume you wouldnt want to get them for a bit, until algea has actually started to grow in tank - right??
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Scott
