OK so I had a beta in a bowl for nearly 3yrs, no problems. Changed water weekly. Then I got a 40g tank. New filter... Filled it up and put him in there. He did great for a few weeks then I added about 4 medium sized glofish. My beta died about a week later. Broke my heart a week after I added 4 more glofish. It's been a couple weeks with them all in and they are dying now oh also I have an algae eater too.
Also I have a uv light for the glofish. I switch it to normal lighting during day and glow mode at night. Is this bad?
I've NO IDEA about cycling, what to do, materials needed... But I think I need to start fresh and cycle first before trying to get more fish?
Help! I'm farrr from an expert and all the posts I've read about cycling are confusing for a brand new (aquarist?). I never knew it was so hard to keep fish
So frustrated please help?
