New 29 Gallon Tank

[TrooperVinny]

Here is a pic of my new tank I just got this morning. I's a 29 gallon stocked with 3 mollies. 2 Mickey Mouse platies, 3 tetras, 2 dwarf gouramis and 1 guppy. I had to run out today and buy this tank unexpectedly after realizing our 20 gallon tank had a slow leak. We only had it for about a month, hope this one lasts longer! lol.

No fishless cycle huh.

Anyway, nice fish and tank, good luck.

No, the fish were from the old tank that was established. If it wasn't for the leak I would have never gotten the new tank. I used the water from the old tank and they seem to be fine.

nice tank but is it cycled ?

Did you put the old filter onto the new tank? That way..you'll only go through a mini cycle, or possibly not even have a cycle. You'll still need a larger filter in the future but it'll hold up for a while, while you go out and by a new filter that will fit the 29 gallon. BTW, the tank looks really nice.

Those plants aren't real..you can tell by the neatness of them. But he still makes the tank look really nice.

Thanks all for all the nice words and encouragement!!! This is my 1st attempt at keeping fish so I apoligize if I've done something wrong as far as setting up the tank and getting it going. My 3 year old has been asking for a fish for about a year now and I finally broke down and got him one. I didn't realize I'd like it so much actually!
I did use the old filter and media which was running for just over a month and I have the second filter (the one that came with the kit) in there as well. I put just about all of the old water in the new tank, then just topped it off with some fresh water. The 1st filter is small, only for a 10 gallon tank. And yes, those are fake plants. I heard that a newbie with no fish experience (me) should stick to fake plants for now...maybe in the future I'll get some real ones or when I really know what I'm doing, I'll get a saltwater set-up.
Thanks again for the replies, I am really enjoying this hobby.

PetSmart actually! lol. The Petco by me has a Horrible selection of accessories. I think eventually I might replace the ship on the right side with something like the piece on the left. I don't know what I want to do for a background yet. There is a really nice exotic fish store near me I think I may pay a visit to tomorrow.
