thats great! Nothing better than a cycled tank ready for fish, other than going out and bringing some home! I Love neons too... good luck with yours they can be so very sensitive!

thank you so much! im trying my best to keep them happy! i accimilated them for one hour, adding water every 10 minutes. the pH is at 7.2 ammonia and nitrites are 0 and nitrates are at less then 5. i cant think of anything else that i could do to help! any suggestions?

I had a male and female dwarf gourami pair and the male chased the female around all day and I had to take it back. I have heard that is common and that you really need like 1:3 m:f ratio to keep them from stressing. If yours don't have this problem then that's great but it just might be worth watching for. Nice colorful tank though, I like it a lot.

thanks! the chasing isnt to bad unless she gets really close, and there is so many hiding places there isnt much of a problem. i also heard u should add the female 3 weeks before the male
