First fish

[cory catfish]

After about 6 weeks of fishless cycling and a massive water change my tank finally contains some fish.
I have 3 bronze cories who are in a feeding frenzy. I think they have settled in quite well after the stressful car journey back from the shop where I bought them. They have been no trouble at all so far. I cant wait to get more fish!  ;D

That's great to hear! What size tank is it? And what all fish are you planning on getting? Congrats, fish are so much fun. ;D

Thanks ryanp14.
The tank is 25 gallons. I plan to get some cardinal and glowlight tetra. ;D

I have had my corries for a couple of days now. They are still very active and amusing. ;D
I posted to ask about feeding. I have been feeding them 2-3 'sinking wafers' a day. Does this seem a suitable level of feeding? ???

That's a little much. I did the same thing at first. I just wanted to feed and feed them so they'd be healthy but really once a day is better. I feed mine a little brine shrimp or sinking shrimp pellets once a day. 2 or 3 times is a little much. The cardinals are a good choice and I've never had glowlights but I would suggest maybe something that gets a little bigger like a pair of gouramies and the cardinals, that would be pretty. But it's your decision. Good luck. Just don't buy fish your not at least 99.9% sure about.
