Hi all, I'm new and haven't had fish before. I'm starting off in the worst way by getting given fish and a tank. I'll do the basic research but need some advice on how to get ready for my fish, I have 11 days.
This is my plan so please help with and advice.
I'm getting my tank from one person and my fish from another.
I plan to clean tank, fill and conditioner the water, add sure start or similar product, then on heater, light and inherited cleaned filter. Sounds simple.. Lol.
Next, in 11 Days collect fish.
Collect fish in double bags, put bags in big square container for transport. Transport will take 30 minutes. Float fish in bags in tank for twenty minutes, open bags add some tank water over the next twenty minutes... Then tip the fish out with all the water that is in the bag from the previous home tank. Do this for all the fish. One betta, five neon, two plecco and two dwarf african frogs. I will read up on their food and care etc but to get me started and tips please to help them survive this change. Thanks
