secondly.. no fishless cycle.. easy mistake to make.. i had no idea before i came here, so at least you've made the first right move.. i thought a good clean tanks and some fresh water would do them great.. i was lucky with the fish, but they must have been cursing me... perhaps people here can help if you have any probs.....
You didn't do a fishless cycle Shame on you!!! Just kidding. Like most people here, I had never heard of it either when I got my first tank. Have fun and enjoy TFF.
i think i was kinda lucky becasue my LFS told me to wait two weeks and they gave me the things for free to boost stuff liek ammonia and nitrI(A)tes and then they usggested fish to start off with!
