Hi everyone,
I currently have 1 cory cat and 1 male platy in a 3 gallon tank. I'm purchasing a new 30 gallon tank on Thursday and was just after some advise really...
Firstly, I'm fully aware of the need to cycle my new tank before adding any fish but what is the quickest and most efficient way of doing so? My 3 gallon tank is fully established and running like a dream so how could I go about using something from there to give things a kick start?
Secondly (this is the fun bit), when the tank is ready for some fishy friends what would some nice stocking lists be? Obviously I'll be moving my Cory and male platy into there so would need to be compatible with them.
I'm relatively new to all this but desperately want to do everything right so some of your lovely expert advise would be appreciated.
Thanks
