the guppies will die if your doing a fish cycle not very hardy fish like the once was..i suggest take them back to the lfs and do a fishless cycle ..or if you cant i suggest getting a hardy fish than can tolerate high levels of ammonia and nitrite.

yeah well i have put bacteria in designed so you can put fish in after a week or two but if i had the choice again i would do it fishless

netherless hypothetcially can anyone recommend fish that would be suited to a 60l tank and dont need any special care?

is it something called filter start. its crap! its pointless, it does nothing, how can they sustain bacteria in a bottle? without food?

its called safestart but yeah i kno what you mean. would you be able to answer my original question tho presuming the cycle had finished

 

[Truck]

yes danios, hardy barbs, but steer clear of neons, cardinals and rummy nose tetras

 

[tom_os]

why should i stay clear of them?

 

[Truck]

there not hardy, and they are nto suited to new tanks, they need a tank of 6 months plus in age and stability

 

[tom_os]

ok thanks

what about loaches?

 

[Truck]

khuli loach would be good for your tank, albeit they love sand and its beneficial

 

[tom_os]

ok cool

also at my lfs they have these fish that like stick onto the side of the tank do you kno what they are called? i think they are loaches of some sort

 

[Truck]

no they will be plecos, nearly every one to big for a 60 l, a bristle nose or a bulldog pleco will be ok in your tank. or they could be ottos. in which case you could have a bout 6

 

[tom_os]

yeah i think their plecos.

im going to my lfs day after tomorrow to get a test kit so i will see what they got

thanks for your help
