Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Finally, cycled and adding fish!

I finally finished my cycle on Christmas day! I had to wait until the day after to go get my fish. I added 6 guppies(2 males, 4 females), and an albino long fin bushynose. The guppies have already had some babies which is what I wanted. I have saved three(I wasn't prepared for the birth this soon!)
The albino has already attacked the algae in the tank beautifully, and will soon need algae wafer supplements. Everyone is doing well, and so far I have had no spikes in the water parameters. Amonia 0, Nitrites 0, and Nitrates 10.

Well, I was hoping to add 6 cherry barbs in a couple of weeks. I want to give everyone a chance to acclimate first. Also, if I have any more guppy fry, I may have to get them a separate tank. I want to breed them and sell the fry to the LFS, but I do not want a tank of all guppies lol!
