Fish Crazy
I got three fancy guppies. I got a two gallon tank, and a small hang on filter. It was uncycled. And I just learned about cycling back then. So I was told to do daily water changes. I did. And i've had them for a week now, still alive. Today, I stirred the gravel around, and I saw a lot of poop, so I stirred it a lot, and the poop all came out. Then, I put my filter near it, and it all got sucked up. I changed the filter sponge, too cause it was dirty. I saw transparent stuff clinging to the gravel while I cleaned it. Could it have been the beneficial bacteria? It was very visible. I went to the LFS and got some matured gravel from a different tank. I put a some of the matured gravel into the tank. Two of the guppies seem fine, but one of them is not swimming. It just stays on the top of the water, wiggling , but not swimming. And he keeps staying there. I'm not sure if the other two are so good, but at least they are swimming! Anyone know what's wrong? Should putting the matured gravel in cycle the tank? Should I do water changes? Thanks! I have plants, too.
