Yes, I plan to do my fishless cycle, then set my QT up. And then slowly add fish after they go through the QT. Yea I will take the precaution then! Thanks!

Thank you! Should I have my other fish already before adding the 2 EBRs? As this would allow the other fish to be better established in the tank.

Okay, then I will get the ammonia and bacteria. And make sure to do my water changes! Thank you very much this has all been very helpful!

Okay. I will look into that. Is there something besides food that I can put into the tank, that won't make it cloudy? Also, during the cycle, I do the water changes just like I would with fish correct?

I will look into those! Thank you!

I got some advice from the welcome thread, but they recommended getting more advice. I have a 29 gal tank. I haven't started building the tank yet because I want to know more about the fish I have chosen's habitat before I do. I am going to be doing some live plants though and have plenty of...

Thank you for the advice! I will just use the bottled bacteria then, as I don't want cloudy water!

Well I will start researching the live plants then! I wanted to do them but was unsure after reading some posts about them. With snail problems and such. Just was worried my novice skill level would land me in a pickle! But I will look into the plants you recommended!

That makes sense. I have a bucket and somewhere I read on the forum, said to fill the bucket up and de-chlorinate it and be room temperature, then add it too the tank. I will probably need to get a smaller bucket sense I will need to be able to lift the bucket up above the tank. But my arm...

Thank you for the welcome and advice. Patience has been something I am focusing on. I honestly don't see me adding anything to the tank (substrate) for another week at least. As, I am still trying to decide the look I am going on, and whatever fish I want will have certain needs from their...

I would say yes, one of their names is Gold Inca snail, but they have many others! I just love the yellow/gold color! Do you know if it matters what the sex are for the 2 EBRs?

Thank you for the welcome, Hoosier!

Yeah, I am very drawn to the albino corys. I come from a place where we had well water, so the chlorination has been a major adjustment for me! During the cycle do I use the de-chlorination or does that natural happen? I was unsure? I know during water changes I will need the de-chlorination but...

Sorry for the delay, all the water company said was it was between 7-9, however from what I feel it is pretty chlorinated.

Thank you for all the tips! Yep, I was trying to get an idea of what fish I wanted before starting on the Tank. I am picking up a few supplies tonight and I will put the water testing kit at the top of the list. I am pretty picky about the aquascaping, so I am still making some decisions...

Newbie here! I have wanted a aquarium for a long time, finally have the space and money to do it. I am still in the very beginning stages of my set up. But have been using the forum to expand my knowledge, so far. Looking forward to all the future conversations ahead! I have a 29 gal tank at...
