I have been scouring these forums as a guest for weeks gaining valuable information as a novice fish tank owner. I honestly dont think me or my tank would have survived without you so please give yourselves a huge pat on the back and accept my thanks for all the help with all the guides and threads
I bought my very first tank just over a month ago now, a Juwel 60L which I lovingly set up and have been fighting with ever since. On advice of a friend I added fish within 2 weeks and have suffered the consequences (lost 3 fish, daily water changes, snails etc)....lesson definately learned!
The tank seems to have settled and I still have a pair of swordtails, pair of mollies and a male platy who unfortunately lost his mate but something must be going right as there are 20+ babies from all 3 breeds who are now almost 2 weeks old. I also had 2 male guppies which I was assured by a fish shop were first fish who only lasted 24 hours, after reading on here I have learned they definately arent.
Questions....I have loads but I will put them in the relevant sections. Again thanks again for all the info
