The Other Way Round?

[Squigs]

Hello!

I've been using this forum for a few weeks(?) now and I only just found this! So here I am, better late than never, saying hello!

I'm very new to fishkeeping. After rescuing 2 fantail goldies and a WWCM, I thought to myself 'Hm, I wouldn't mind having a tank...'. So I went and bought another 2 fantail goldies and a 5G from the LFS at their advice . Sadly, it took me a while to learn about 'better' fishkeeping and one of my goldies died

On a positive note, I have learned, the WWCM has been rehomed to find a more suitable place and the 3 remainder goldies are doing well in their new 160L home. I'm doing a fish-in cycle and monitoring parameteres very closely so there's hope for the remaining fish!

Thank you everyone for their help! It's been very much appreciated!

Good afternoon and welcome to the forum! Sorry you lost one of the goldies. A fish in cycle is difficult. Make sure to test your water daily and don't let the ammonia or nitrites get above 0.25ppm. I see lots of water changes in your future.

Thanks Colleen. I'm sorry I lost him too I wish I'd known better then... fish-in cycle is not going too bad, thanks. Don't you worry, I test the water religiously twice a day and as close to 12hrs apart as possible if that makes sense! And change water as required

We all make mistakes. The important thing is that you learn from them. Sounds like you have everything under control. Good luck and keep us posted!
