Cory Catfish~! Need Help!

Rohland

good, im pretty excited! thanks for guiding me. I know i will have lots more questions to come.
Your pandas look amazing btw.
I think i may actually fully cycle my tank this time, i have never fully done a cycle, and i read pandas are sensitive to water change.

Yeah,cycling is a good thing for fishies. My tank is re-cycling,since I just moved them to this new tank. Oh thanks! Some of the pandas hate it when I do a water change,but they bounce back pretty quick. They get used to it after awhile. Even with a cycled tank,still have to do water changes.

Rohland

sorry how deep in your sand bed, i think i may have too much in mine...
also do you have live plants?

fishyinpa

Sorry I been away lol! Um...maybe an inch? You dont want alot cause anerobic (sp?) gases build up and thats bad for the fishies. So at least once every couple weeks you have to stir the sand to let the gases out. It will look like bubbles escaping. The sand will turn black,meaning lots of gas built up. Dont want to let it get that far. Nah no live plants lol. I have hard enough time keeping plants in the garden alive,so I dont think Id be any good at aquarium plants heh.

Rohland

fishyinpa
