  • I cleaned out the tank when my fish died.
    Rinsed the gravel.
    Kept the filter (mistake?)
    Added water
    Added gravel
    Added plants
    Added sand
    Let that settle for at least 2 weeks or more
    Added plants (new) and snails last week.

  • Might just keep it with plants. Looks nice.

  • It’s the cycling process that’s been missed out of the list. It’s needing bacteria in the sand, filter, surfaces, gravel etc.

    Get a testing kit, add a small amount of ammonia or bit of fish food. Test it every few days. When it no longer shows ammonia it’s on the right track, when you can add a few drops of ammonia and it shows clear the following day it’s cycled and ready for a small amount of fish. It can be added to with one or two more a week.

  • Oh i did add fish food!
    I’ll leave it another week and get a testing kit.

  • Thanks.

  • I haven’t bought more snails but there are now snails in my tank.
