Hey everyone,
First time poster here. Just upgraded to a 37G Eclipse Tank with mirrored background. Love it so far. I have a well established 10G with all my community fish (4 neon tetras, 2 albino cory cats, 3 cherry barbs, 2 hatchet fish, harlequin barbs, etc). I plan to move these fish into the 37G which has been running for 4 days now. It has 2 large fake silk plants, 2 pieces of drift wood, (1 with a live plant attached to it from petsupermarket) and also 2 live japanese grass moss balls also from the store. I added a 4 "tester" guppies a few hours after I treated the tank with aqua safe and Prime and they are doing fine 4 days later. An associate at Pet supermarket convinced me it was okay to add a few large Angelfish to the mix, which I now did, along with 4 neon tetras. The fish are getting along however from what Ive read the angels can eventually attack the neons. I was thinking of excahnging the larger angels for much smaller ones so they can grow up together and decrease chances of attacks.
Also my ammonia level reads about 1ppm (4th day) Im a little concerned and hoping this will go down. Also PH is about 7.2-7.4
Im afraid of adding my fish from the 10G, should I wait a few more days and see how the neons I put in with the angels do for a few more days?
Thank you!
