Brought some fish at the weekend, good timing as it was mothers day hehe! I brought my mum a red fighter, 6 neons, and a frog ^_^

they are all doing fine at the moment! How many more fish do you think i can fit in there? It's a 50 litre tank. Dimensions: Length 60cm x width 30cm x height 32cm
Do i have to do a water change weekly and clean out the filter weekly as its only a tiny filter from a starter kit? Thanks

hear of it done as quick as a week with some mature media, it's common to take 3-6 weeks i reckon.

i've never done it either

I'm doing mine at the moment and 6 days has shown some nitrates there!! I think I got a good batch of Cycle which actually worked!!

Angel98, what test kits are you using?...they look pretty good to me and because of my inability to tell the difference between subtle colours I think your kit would suit me!

It's an API master test kit cost me bout Â£25 i think
