I got a new 5gallon tank today and have been keeping freshwater fish for many years. I thought today that it might be time to start a saltwater aquarium. The first question I have is if there are any beginner fish that could live in a five gallon and will I have to start a new cycle or can I use...

It usually runs warm around 85 so 74 is quite a big drop for him. I initially thought it was a parasite to but he looks healthy. I do have api stuff for that on hand though. I was curious about the lights so I’ll turn the lights off.

So this morning I saw my angelfish rubbing against the substrate in my tank between a rock and a plant. I checked the temp and it was 74 degrees. I put a space heater on it and ran out for about a half hour to get a new heater. I came back and the temperature was 79. Any suggestions on how...
