Hi everyone!
So, we’re pretty new to all this fish keeping. 6 weeks ago we bought a 40l tank, went on the advice of the pet shop people and lost three of our fish.
We went off and got some advice from our local garden centre, whose aquarium guy has 40 years of experience. We’ve now got the 40l under control and have 6 neons, 3 black phantoms, 2 corys and an Armani shrimp who are all happy and healthy. We know all our tests.
Because we are grown ups and have control of our own money, we decided it’s was a fantastic idea to order a new tank this morning…we have on the way a 125l Fluval Roma!
This time we will do a fishless cycle. I’ve got a couple of questions though. At the moment we have plants in our existing tank. Should we move one straight into the new tank?Should we use the water change water in the new tank - would that help with the process. I’ve read the amazing guide you guys did but is there *anything* else I could do with knowing?
photos - how we started, real plants added! George & Lando the Corys. Shrimp!
