Hello, today I just got my tanked stocked to the level I want it to be! it is a 29 gallon and now I have":
2 Bolivian Rams
6 Corydoras Trilineatus
1 Dwarf Gourami
8 Harlequin Rasboras
2 Cherry Barbs
But I do have a couple of question:
1) I did a fishless cycle, and I first started stocking my tank about 2 weeks ago, at first there were 6 Corydoras Trilineatus, 5 Harlequin Rasboras and 2 Cherry Barbs, today I added 2 ADULT Rams, 1 ADULT Gourami, and 3 JUVENILE Rasboras. Will this start a mini-cycle? Should I just do an extra water change for a couple of weeks? BTW- The tank has 2 Vallisneria Spiralis, and 2 Java Ferns, i plan on later getting some Java moss. (perhaps next week?)
2) How do you do a water change with a bucket? I did mine by just dumping all the water in, but this got water everywhere and I think it stressed the fish, so now i put a stool with some phonebooks on it and syphon the water slowly into the tank...
3) What is the best way to take pictures of your fish? My camera dosen't seem to take good pictures, they are always blurry, what conditions should i take pictures in?
I hope to get pics soon!
