    Complete Noob

    Welcome, as a nooby, I would look at a tank size of 50-60 litres, otherwise you will have more problems with controlling your Nitrite(NO2) and Ammonia(NH3) levels. If you go a head with the tank you describe in the post, make sure you have a good (liquid) test kit. Matt 6 Cardinal Tetras...

    Strange Poo

    I may be new to this, but what you describe about the waste (being stringy and white) sounds like an internal bacteria problem. I would take a sample of the waste to your LFS and see if they can test it. Matt
