Fish beginner (ish) UK Posted: 21 May 2020 04:47 AM PDT Hello all, I'm sure you get tonnes of these types of topics, apologies. I've been interested in getting in to fish again for a while but have been put off by our past experience. TL;DR at bottom. Years ago we were sold a Fluval Edge 23L by our LFS along with some of the 'quick start' stuff and an instruction to return in a week for the fish. As complete beginners with a tiny tank they sold us 3 pearl scale goldfish and a nice little anubias(?) on a log. The tank started getting a lot of algae so they then sold us a magnetic scraper and bristle nose pleco, followed by 3 or 5 male guppies. Unsurprisingly (although we didn't know better at the time) it all ended terribly and they eventually all died off within a couple of months. Since then we've put it down to us just being bad with fish but my research over the last month or two has opened my eyes to what we weren't told e.g. nitrogen cycling, biological filtration, PH, GH, KH etc. Eventually I'd love a nice 100-200l aquascaped tank in my living room but it's a huge chunk of money in case it all goes wrong. I'm thinking of setting something smaller up in my reptile room so I can see if this is a hobby for me. I'm looking at a Fluval Flex 57L 15G or similar as a start but need some help with stocking if you don't mind? Fish I like the idea of at the moment (not together) include guppies, chilli rasbora and pea puffers although I'm not sure how they are for beginners and open to options. I will try my hand at planting it but don't think I'm ready for CO2 and flashy lights yet. Water parameters from my supplier to follow. Thanks. TL;DR Killed my old fish due to bad advice, want to try again but nervous about killing them again. Need help. submitted by /u/Mrhoyo [link] [comments]
