IMO water changes remove nitrates and other impurities (ammonia, nitrites) ingredients that make up most commercial fertilizers.

diVer, I would suggest going with only 2 angelfish and perhaps two more catfish, I am partial to julii corys. Good luck

Sharky, once nitrAtes start to show your cycle is approaching the final stages. IMO, with a fishy cycle it is important to do regular water changes (no gravel cleaning) to limit the ammonia stress on your fishy friends. Best of luck!

I initially purchased 6 giant danios to help cycle my tank, but these hardy fish are extremely active and seem to play an ongoing game of tag. The danios are so lively that my two keyhole cichlids now join in the fun and school and play with the danios. Way cool!!

Corp, I would stay away from the shrimp in your case and go with a couple of apple snails.

Sasha, If you are unable to get your hands on ammonia, you could try adding fish food to the water, over time the food will decompose and the by-product is ammonia. This method will take considerably longer but works just the same. I hope this helps.

Hi Craig, Sounds like a fungus growth, I would keep my eyes on the water parameters for any adverse changes. Hope this helps.

I keep mine in my bedroom.

:hi:

Thank you all for the warm greeting I'm glad to be here!!
