Well, I did a decent amount of reading before starting my tank but unfortunately I did not read enough (none! ) about the most important part... CYCLING.
I put way too many fish in too soon, so my question is, what is my best possible solution? I have no problem returning or just flushing the fish to fish heaven in order to get things going right.
Here's what I have going:
29 gallon tank. Did things right as far as rinsing gravel, de-chlorine, chloramine etc.
9 tiger barbs (because I read they should be in larger groups to avoid aggressiveness)
2 Mollies (read they we're compatible with the tiger barbs)
2 guppies (wife picked em out. suprisingly getting along well with tiger barbs so far)
So what should I do?
Get rid of all fish?
Get rid of all but a few tiger barbs (because they're hardy)?
Other suggestions?
Thanks in advance for helping a newb and have a wonderful weekend.
GO BLUE!!!
