First Guppy tank in 30 years | 6 comments (6 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

Another item I suggest... (none / 0) (#3)

is a water test kit. Something that tests for nitrite, ammonia, and pH, at least. This will help you watch the nitrite cycle develop, and help you in the future.

Actually, the smaller tanks are harder to maintain, water chemistry wise, I find. But once they are established, they are as good as any.

I am mostly worried about the amount of the ammonia building in such a small tank though.
You will need to ack quickly to quell that.

A friend of mine puts ammo-chips in her bags of fish when she ships them. It maybe worth a shot to add some in a net bag, or piece of cheesecloth to help for a week or so.

Best of luck,
and welcome to Guppylog!!!
