Re: tank cycled+new additions

Good going Craig! Watch your ammonia and nitrites daily until you are certain the tank is cycled. Pictures would be nice!

Not sure on that one but whatsafish7 has some white cloud mountain minnows which is what you want so maybe he can help you a little bit.

GOOD JOB ON SETTING UP YOUR NEW TANK

Re: tank cycled+new additions

Don't add anymore fish until the tank is cycled. If it's not cycled, you will be adding too much to the bio load for the water to stay safe for your fish. I don't know that I would add white cloud minnows to that tank or not. I know that goldfish have special requirements that might not be compatible with the white clouds. I know that it is usually recommended on goldfish to keep the same species in the tank because some are more aggressive eaters than others, and the slower fish don't get enough to eat. Do some research on each species of goldfish you already have and find out what their special needs are before adding the white clouds.

Use some stability by seachem for about 10 days cause I can tell ya you tank has not cycled completely. This product will
help build your biological system. Use it one time per water change also. If not get ready to watch those nitrates climb.

Re: tank cycled+new additions

Like Gunnie said the Goldies might hog all the food, but what I would be concerned about is that the big Goldies might see the little White Clouds AS the food. :P I personally would not mix the two.
