Ammonia

[Mindy]

Less fish = less mess, less maintenance and less chance of disease. I think about 6 as a maximum for a 5 gallon. If you stick a plant in the gravel, it helps too. I'll dig up the name of a low-light one if you are interested.

Nice to see you during the day. Are you like, a vampire or maybe a night shift worker?

My dad has in his 5 gallon tank, an algae eater, 2 adult guppies, 8 or 9 guppy babies, and another fish, not sure what it is. His tank always stays so clean, not sure how he does it though.

I work evenings, dont get home until around midnight.

you could always pee in the tank..


i'm sorry, that was uncalled far. although urine is mostly ammonia...

No urine is not mostly ammonia it is 95% water actually and 2.5% uric acid. It eventually CONVERTS to ammonia after hittng the air.

Use some fish food to help cycle. Pretend you have invisible fish!
