Hey,
I've recently set up a 40 gallon tank with all my old tropical fish in, I've never really done water changes with my old large tank but have been doing a lot more research and realise this is essential.
My first question is when replacing the water with a water change, what sort of water should i use? people seem to say water that's been standing and dechlorinated... but does that actually mean a few buckets of water dechlorinated and left for a day or something??
Also... I have a smaller 19L tank, one of those hexagonal ones... And my girlfriend wants a little fish with lots of character, like a fancy goldfish. But after looking up how much room they need, 19L is not enough.
Are there any small fish [apart from bettas] that look funny [have big eyes] and will be ok in such a small tank? If there are no alternatives i have a 5 gallon tank she could use, any ideas for that?
Cheers, Paul.
