I've been using water conditioner, I think it's made by Tetra but I'll have to check, it says on the bottle that it works with chlorine and a few other things. I'm not getting a fighter now as I've been advised a few times that they don't mix well. How many fish do you think a tank this size can...

Okay! Thanks!

Thanks for the help. I had my water tested for the first time yesterday and everything was at 0 but the ammonia was .8-.9 which I was told is the moderate range and a couple water changes should help. My ph was 7.5 which I was told is fine. Am I right in thinking that because my Amonia is...

Hi, I'm Paul and I've recently aquired my first Tropical fish tank. I've had a look around the forum and it seems very helpful but I have a few questions in particular just to make sure I'm on the right track. I've read up about cycling and have a very vague understanding of how it works. As...
