If you all feel I am bad if I do this - then I will not do it. I do not want to kill lots of fish.
No Jammy, I dont think your bad for doing a fishy cycle either
Your on the right track and your willingness and caring for the fish's well being is very nice to see. :thm:
As long as you follow the instructions exactly then you'll be fine and so will the fish.
As you go thru the process and future fish care your going to have questions on what to do next, or why is this or that happening.
Ask your questions here.
Many fish store people mean well but they too are mis informed and think what they are telling you is the right thing.
Go ahead and ask the store what to do but also ask here to see if that person knows what he or she is doing.
I dont know if you or friends or family ever had fish before but also be careful with the advise they give you, many people (most actually) have the wrong information too, even though they mean well.
Most of all, HAVE FUN ON SUMMER VACATION!
An aquarium is lotsa fun!
