Cycling Update and "Thanks you guys!"

[TampaClint]

I would like to thank everyone for their advice. I have done considerable research at this point. I will be investing in an additional/larger tank. I will split the fish I currently have between the two. I want to keep the barbs together with at least one shark. I will probably do all the barbs and one shark in the larger tank.

I am happy to report that its been over a week and I have not lost any fish. I have been doing daily water changes and I purchased a testing kit. The ammonia is at a reasonable/safe level and the water has cleared up considerably. The cycling is in process for sure. All the fish are very small right now and dont seem stressed, however I will soon be moving some of them out and into a larger tank.

Again, thank you all for your help. I will keep posting updates.

Sounds like you are on the right track friend.
And though we appreciate the thanks because we rarely get it, we should be thanking you, not only for keeping us busy, but having the responsibility to come and ask questions in the first place.

So
NO, THANK YOU!:19:

Good Job! :19:
Keep watching for signs of high ammonia and nitrite readings.Pink gills is one of them.

I'd move both sharks into the larger tank. And what size tank are you planning on getting?

Glad to hear things are moving forward. Makes us happy when our advice is taken and it yields good results!

I would like to get a 55 gallon tank. I will move the sharks (3 red-tailed black sharks) in there and maybe add a few other fish. Any recomendations?
Thanks
