New 45g Tank - Need Help!

[Nick.]

Leave the fish in the 45, keep up the water changes and go light on the feeding. If you can find a plant called Water Sprite or Wisteria, get it and put it in the tank, it will use up ammonia.

Water Wisteria - Hygrophila difformis

My tiger barbs started out about 1" long (maybe 3/4"). Now they're close to 2".

My leopard danios stay around the top just 'cuz it's naturally their favorite swimming area. Do you have a heater in your tank? Seriously, your barbs and tetras will be MUCH more active and healthy when they're warmer.
