    If there are no fish in the QT you can. If you have fish in there they will need a stable temperature. If you can maintain a stable temp that is within their normal range it will be fine, if not you need a heater.
    If it's called tourist season why can't I shoot them?
    Brutal honesty will be shown on this screen.
    I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
    Tolerance is a great thing to have, so is the ability to shut up.

    Yes, people often successfully cycle tanks with plants in them.
