I want to get my first fish tank…HELP?!
As my title shows, I want to get my first fish tank. What size do you recommend? I understand about the litre to fish point ratio…
What products do I need to ensure the water for cold water fish is safe, appropriate and good for transition. I understand that the tank will need to cycle for a good day or few until it’s ready.
How often should I be changing/siphoning water?
What substrate is good?
How often do I need to feed them? I don’t want food gathering at the bottom and it increasing ammonia - I understand Amano shrimp can eat these bits though…
And finally - any general suggestions and advice would be appreciated!! My friend did have fish for several years but it’s been a while and she can’t remember a whole lot about them apart from some bits of knowledge here or there…
Many thanks!
