Yesterday, I brought my old fish tank out of the basement of my house and rinsed it off. I didn't use soap or anything, just water and my hands. Then I put tap water in it, and let it sit for several hours. While the tank was sitting in my room, I was out getting fish and fish supplies. That took about 4 hours. I came home, rinsed off the gravel I just bought, and put in in the tank. Then I put the air pump and bubble stick in, and put the fish bags in the water (the fish were still in the bags the pet store put them in). Then I let those sit for about 1 1/2 hours. Then I put the fish in the tank and gave them some fish food...which they didn't seem to eat. And then I turned off the lights and went to bed, after adjusting the bubble stick several times because it keeps floating up or creating a strong current.
Today, I boiled some rocks and put them in the tank. I also fed my fish...but they still don't seem to eat...although one of the goldfish occasionally puts a piece in its mouth and then spits it out.
Anyway, I did most of the stuff the right way, right? I have a five gallon tank and three fish that aren't longer than an inch and a half.
I have a black moor, a fantail goldfish, and an emerald cory catfish. And I fed them goldfish food. I know the catfish isn't really supposed to be in there, since it's tropical and probably doesn't eat goldfish food, so I was going to move it anyway. -.-
