What about the tank he is coming from? Can you get any of the filter sponge do you think? Using some filter material from another tank will speed up the cycling process. As for the water why not pop in to your local fish shop & say you want some more fish but will they test your water for...

Now here is something I know absolutely nothing about! I may well get some shrimp but will have to do some reading up first. The planting in the tank would probably be good for them...

No worries, it's a hard job trying to do this right! :cool: Combo of hard water & small tank is a right ?

Yeah, I'm up and down about the Corys, I know the water is not perfect but a few people nearby have said they are keeping them OK. If the banjo eats a few newborn guppy babies I wont be upset, depending on how prolific they are they could otherwise overrun the tank! I looked at @ClownLurch's...
