So I just added live plants to my tank, maybe 5 days ago. I did a partial water change today n tested, my nitrite level is elevated, prly around 3.0 maybe, not rly sure...my fish have only been tog in the tank 3-4 wks, is my tank just cycling??

I believe it's an Amazon sailfin catfish, atleast that's what his markings look like...my pet store sold him to me as a common pleco

I have a rather large plecko ive only had like 2 wks...i feed him algae waffers at nite but i also know he needs vegetables...do i just cut a piece of cucumber n drop it in at nite? Will he eat during the day??

So i just came across a post on facebook about using sponges in ur filter instead of actual fiter packs?? what kind of sponge, like a regular kitchen sponge?

No the fish are all to big right now, but i knw he will get a lot bigger!! Im actually curious if hes even eating, i barely c him....

I have 2 fantails, about 2in or so, a comet that's getting bigger 1 1/2in, a Wakin that's about 4in., a 8-10in plecko, an albino claw frog, albino Cory and a trapdoor snail :).... Thoughts? It's a work in progress, these fish have been together about a month, except the Cory he is older. Just added live plants also! From aquariumcoop

Ok so I will prly go with the danios, and a group of Cory's, but can I add the Cory's to a new tank w the other fish?

So i have currently, a 55 gal goldfish tank that just made me fall so hard for the hobby! I am not new to fish keeping, ive had tanks my whole life, but ive never looked at fish the way i started to recently! So i just setup a new 10 gal and my son really wants a betta fish...now ive done some research and have seen so much content on youtube, my thoughts were to put a little group of black emperor tetras and celestial pearl danios ( 8 of each), with the betta. Any feedback would be much appreciated...i dont really wanna dedicate my second tank to just a betta...oh and i thought after the tank really cycles, i would add a group of corys and a plecko or hillstream loaches....is that to much for a 10 gal? Ive had all bigger tanks so im not to sure with that size fish and tank??
