Hello all! It's a pleasure to come across your site. I have a few questions, if you don't mind. I had a tank running years ago, but it was with the help of my folks that I had it going. After 15 or so years, I am itching to get into the swing of things!
First off, how long after setting a tank up is it okay to add any fish? I have a 29 long which has been running since last Friday. Temp is 76ish, pH at 7.0 (checked it the last two days), and it is pretty soft. I run a whisper power filter 3.
Secondly, with this water type, what types of starter fish would be good to get it going? How many? And after I've had it running with some starters, what other fish would work well in this environment?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to hanging around here if I can get the hang of this stuff!
Thanks,
Lilnipper
