I am going to purchase an Aqueon 2.5 or 5 gallon tank this weekend when I go home from college
I have never had a fish before and am just now learning and researching EVERYTHING!
I think it is confusing me more than I already was...theres so much to do and remember!
but I guess basically i was wondering:
can the fish be in the tank while it cycles?
how long does it take?
should I get the tank first to let it cycle some and then get the fish right before I leave for the dorm again?
should I buy the tank and fish at the same time and put him in that day...just to have to take him right back out to bag him for the ride back?
I have no idea what to do!! and don't know enough to know what is logical and correct in this situation!!
Any better suggestions than that?
PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!
thanks
sorry to post twice...this one has more details
it said that my other one was deleted. ugh.
oh well.
school is about 35 minutes away.
