Hello

[Rocky06fx4]

Hi everyone just bought a 20 gallon tank a week ago! Apparently I was too in a hurry to get fish because the water is cloudy now. Hopefully after a couple water changes it will clear out. I will post pictures of my tank soon.

Now's the time to slow down so that your fish get their best chance when you inhtroduce them.

Welcome,

The cloudy water may be a bacterial bloom from your tank cycling. It is a good thing, BUt if you have fish in the aquarium, you may want to check your parameters to make sure everything is within safe and healthy levels.

Was the Angel in you salt water tank?

[Rocky06fx4]

I'm sorry all I did was put in conditioning salt I think is what its called, where I put one scoop in per 5 gallons.

Yesterday I bought a Pleco, Tried feeding it with a peeled apple piece that I stuck with a fork to make it sink but no luck he just hid. I'll post some pics soon.

Thanks for telling me about the Ebook I learned alot.

A lot of fish will be shy for a few days, not real sure your way of feeding was a good idea, never heard of apple being fed either?.

Also be carefull with salt on fish that are bottom feeders, or have skin instead of scales, salt and medications can be harmfull to them.

So far I've been feeding the tank with tropical flakes and Frozen Shrimp from Petco. Heard of feeding Pleco with cucumber pieces, peeled apples, maybe even carrots also. Yesterday he was trying to eat some flakes that fell into the cave but the Mollies took it before he could get there. I'm kinda concerned because they (the Mollies) seem to eat food thats on the floor, taking away from my frogs and Pleco.
