Tetra Bactozym tabs will give you all the benificial bacteria you need to turn ammonia to nitrite and nitrite to nitrate. Regular partial water changes will help to keep the nitrate under controll. As far as first fish go find what types of fish you plan on keeping and get some of the hardier ones of that group and you tank should be fine. I started with 4 Black widow tetras and 4 glowlight tetras. All eight of them are still with me after six months, but there are a lot of good choices out there.

Sounds like a plan, put in the Zebs and then go slow. Plants help a lot!! I turned off my pump with a water change and it was 12-14 hours before I noticed I was dumb enough to plug it in again(lots of plants in my tank). Lucky me it worked. We had Zebs when I was a kid and they seemed to do fine, a bit of common sense and self reliance can go far. Good luck.

No, I wouldn't reccomend this. I would leave it at least a month before adding any more, and then only if water conditions are right! And not Tetras. I was advised that they like a mauture Tank!

But at the end of the day it's your Tank, your money and up to you.
