I just bought a 36 gallon fish tank. Previously had a 5 and 10, so have some experience, but hey we can always learn right! .. My questions:
- I forgot to wipe down and rinse out the fish tank before setting it up. I used a brush to wipe it all down with the water inside the tank, but I'm not sure if this is good enough. After a few hours most of the dust has been cleared out by the filter. What should I do?
- How long should I wait before I transfer my fish from my 10 gallon to my 36? Have looked up so many answers, such as a week to a few weeks; so I'm very confused? I waited a day on my 10 gallon because that's what I was told by workers at petstores. Considering this is a bigger tank I'm assuming that it would take longer to cycle.
- Should I do anything else before adding the new fish?
I have 2 mollies, 4 platys, and 2 platy babies
