No, any dechlorinator would do the same thing. I am not familiar with Purigen, but did a quick google search. It seems like something that normally would be completely unnecessary. If you have a filter running and the tank has cycled, doing water changes should have the same effect. Am I missing something else?

I would go to a store and write down 5-10 species that you think you would like to keep. Then go home without buying anything, and find all of the information that you can on those species. How big a tank they need, water temperatures and parameters, compatibility with other fish, difficulty to care for, feeding, etc. Read everything you can find, and see which of those fish you think would work well in your tank, and which you are willing to care for. After you have done that, you will probably have narrowed it down to 2-4 different fish, and there is a fair chance they will all be able to live together. All of that said, any of the suggestions above are a great place to start.

Thank you all for the friendly welcome!!!

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to say hi! I have recently set up a new 29 gallon tank after about 20 years away from the hobby. Still cycling the tank with some danios at the moment, but will be stocking it with Celebese Rainbows.
