Addicted and in Therapy
Alrighty, so as we all know, fish keeping is totally and completely addicting, so I may end up getting a new tank this week. Part of the reason though, is because of my fighting dwarf gouarmis, and I think it would be best to seperate them, I just can't bring myself to take one back to the store when they're so wonderful otherwise. Anyways, I'm interested in getting a smaller tank, since I really don't have room at all, I may end up with a 5 gallon. I have several questions.
I realize this new tank will need to be cycled, but (should I?) will adding water from my old tank help this at all? I don't know if I want to add gravel, since it will be a completely different color. What are ways I can help keep it safe for whatever fish I put in the new tank during the cycle? I'll add some filter floss from my old tank... but what else, if anything?
What fish would be good to keep in my new tank, if it's 5 gallons, and includes a dwarf gouarmi?
Is there a small heater I can stick in there that's cheap but will work well? The tank I'm looking at includes a filter, light, and hood, but I will still need a heater.
Any other advice would be great, thanks.
