I've had a 10 gallong tank for about 8 months or so now and I just got a good deal in a 55 gallon tank.
I have searched the boards and read a lot but I figured I'd add a topic also.
Right now I have
3 zebra danio's
2 red eyed tetras,
3 Oto's
1 Pictus Cat
1 Angel
1 Gourami
I have the new tank a little over half full now and I was wondering what was the best way to prepare it for these fish...then I will add more later. Am I supposed to try to transfer water from the 10 gallon and stuff like that? (I wasn't sure, that's why I only filled it halfway so far.)
I do not have the filter, heater, or light yet, they will be coming this week. Is there anything I can do while I'm waiting for those?
Also, I use sand in my 10 gallon and I like it, so I want to use sand in the 55 gallon as well. I'm wondering where the best place to get the sand is. Last time I just got it from a nearby sand volleyball court and washed it all out.
Also in this thread I'd be interested to hear what other kinds of fish you guys think I should add the the tank when it's ready.
Thanks for all the advice,
