Let me start by saying Im a complete novice to Aquariums here is my situation:
I`m from the UK and have a 4ft tank, an IPF4 filter and a 300w heater (visitherm).
I`ve been running my tank with heater and filter going,with no fish for a couple of days and my long term plan is to get 1 big impressive catfish, 3 or 4 large discus or simular large colourfull fish and 5 or 6 smaller colourfull more active fish.
Questions:
- Any idea on what fish I should go for the woman in the LFS says that discus are hard to keep, cannot be kept with other fish and need worming, but she doesn`t stock them.
- The heater seems to be on about 25% of the time and I`m aware that this may be costing me a bit in electricity, is this right?
- The woman in the lfs told me to chuck some food in the tank during the fishless cycle for some reason, is this OK to do?
Hope you guys can help.
