Hi all, i currently have a tropical tank set up with a pair of kribs who have bred along with some neons, *** had the tank for about 3 years and as *** moved house *** treated myself to a juwel vision 260. *** bought 40kg ocean rock, sand from the previous owner, a tetratec 1200 filter and a 300w heater i was given and a eggcrate, so almost ready to go and i have a few questions i hope some people can help with.
1) should i / can i use some of the filter media out of the filter in my current tank or can i use one of these kits that adds media (tetrasafe i think?)
2) should i use some of my water from a water change from the current set up to help with cycling
3) stocking! i know people must ask this all the time and i have been researching but want to be sure the fish i get are compatible. i was thinking 3/4 species 1m 3/4f?
yellow labs
acei
demansoni (although i think you need 1 or 12? i like the thought of these as the females are similar in colour to the males?) or another cichlid similar (bright blue with stripes?)
3/4 synodontis
any help/advice would be much appreciated! (part stocking question and cycling question! wasnt too sure where to post)
thanks!
