Some questions from an absolute beginner:
- How many fish would you recommend for a 21L tank?
I’m starting out in my aquarium journey and will be getting some fish after I fully cycle the tank, but I’m just not sure how many fish i should be getting at this size!
- beginner friendly plant suggestions
- do I need a master test kit for the cycling journey or will the water test strips do the trick?
- I have a shared pond with my neighbour (aka my neighbour does all the work with it), which has healthy, established koi fish, could I theoretically get some media/small amount of water from the pond and put it in my tanks filter to speed up the tank cycle? Or could this risk harmful bacteria getting into the tank?
- Also if anyone has any handy tips/tricks for tank cycling or anything else aquarium related, please feel free to share!
Apologies in advance if these are silly/annoying questions, there is so much info online it can be overwhelming 😭🥺
