I am interested in an actual fish count with Shrimp or Corey Doras as cleaners. Like stated in subj. I think cleaning shall be good of water and I only now have 1 calm angel in tank. I will be doing a water tank change when I change from current filter 70 gallon marineland to emp. 450120G, But it seems like when I cycle tank 10 days+ and test water @ local store they say fine, but almost all new fish perish. Had one tiger tetra survive out of 6, so what am I doing wrong? I would like to add some Corey Doras and others but, paying 50.00 for shipping is a lost cause if my tank is toxic. I don not trust local stores and the ONLY Aq. store near me has only one level to keep fish in and they only carry 60-80 fresh water fish. No thanks. Any help is appreciated before I give up on entire hobby!
