Well 4 & 1/2 days gone, and the 2 fish are still ok. Tested the water today and came up with ... Ammonia = less than 0.6 mg/l Nitrite = less than 0.1 mg/l Nitrate = less than 5 mg/l Ph 7.5 Im guessing this means that the tank hasnt started to cycle yet. Are 2 penguin tetras enough to start cycling a 50 litre tank ? Or would it be better if i went and got 4-6 more

Yep, i get what ya mean Warren :roll: Well, the're still looking happy now at 11:15pm. So thats been about 8 hours. Before i added them, i did a ph test and it was about 7.5 I also added some tap water treatment the day before. This site here is the one that i looked up when i got home, to find out what they were. Sorta forgot to look at the name and stuff before i left :lol: Lady at the lfs said they were pretty hardy, so that was me.

Thanks Yep from reading the info here, and also info gained from stepfather, i know to only put 3-5 hardy fish in at first to "cycle" the tank Will also probably get some water testers and the like, altho, the 2 other tanks here have never been tested, just filled up from the tap, and the fish are all doing pretty well.

Hi all Been visiting the forum for a few weeks now. Thought id finally say hello I dont have any fish or tanks of my own at the moment, but my stepdad has a 170 odd litre tank with 10 black widows, 2 clown loaches, a swordtail, 2 catfish and about 30-40 guppys. When i get around to moving out and getting a house of my own, ill definatly be choosing fishes as pets. Ill probably start with guppys, as i like the variety in colour and ease of keeping them
