sorry --and one other thought about "stability"....
because my 10 g was so toxic with ammonia..we had to move the fish sooner than we expected to and so--even though i had done one dose of stability at that point (LFS had told me at first to do stability and fill the tank one third..then 7 days later do another stability and fill the tank another third..then another on the 14th day..--different from instructions on bottle)
but---i had to add fishies to new tank so ...i haven't done anymore stability because these 6 fish ARE my stability now. so i guess i am expecting the tank to get cloudy and spikes to occur.
this fish stuff is scary. well the cycling stuff is.
thanks guys. what goes along with barbs then? i love my barbs.
