Help. New to the forum. Just made a possible error and ran into aquarium keeping, with little thought to our lack of fish knowledge.
We bought yesterday a 65litre tank with 3 angels, 2 dwarf gourami and 2 wild looking honey gourami, in order to provide for our first angel, who through bad advice had been kept in a tiny tank with an over excited black-shark
The black shark is in our original tank, the others in an un-cycled tank bought yesterday.
Aside from the obvious mistakes (2 aquariums in a week, no research) is this a viable community (with/without the black shark)?
Also........
The first tank seems to be cycling no ammonia, trace nitrites and low nitrates? So with regular large water changes and some of the first tanks water will i be able to manage a fish-in cycle of my second community tank or should i re-home all the fish in the cycling tank (with Oscar the grouchy shark) until the large, new tank gets going?
Apologies to all true fish lovers who's disdain i probably deserve.....
Any advice?
