Hi
I have a 56 litre tank which has been running now for four weeks this weekend. When I added my gourmai's in the second week I started to get a bad nitrate problem which resolved with Amquel and have left it up until now when my water is nicely balanced again to add anymore and have added some Zebra Danio's yesterday.
In my tank so far I now have: -
3 neon tetras
1 male dwarf gourmai
4 Zebra Danios
I have a couple of questions.
First of all I put the zebra's in last night and they wont leave my tetras alone swimming after them and trying to go for their tails. Is this just because they are new will they calm down? LFS said that Zebras are good community fish and I shouldnt have any problems.
Secondly with feeding I was told to feed my fish two flakes of food every other day as I overfed before this is what caused my nitrate problem. Now I have the Zebras when should I start upping the feed.
When would be a good time to add a few more fish? Should I leave it another week or can I get a few more before then
And finally what would be a good next choice? I really love guppies (lovely tails) so would like to add some of those. Also really like Clown Loachs and some of the cat fish - would these be compatable with the rest of the fish in my tank? If not what are other good tankmates for the fish I already have.
Sorry so many questions
Thanks for your help
