Well to be honest (and I feel rather guilty for this
) the tank hadnt been cleaned out for a good few weeks therefore thought it would be best to do a large water change and then do a 20% change weekly.... Maybe I was wrong. Yes I cleaned the gravel too. I use Tap Safe in the water and also use a little cooking salt as I have been advised this helps to keep the water safe for the fish.
I dont have many fish in the tank as a lot died about 6 months ago due to fin rot and i havent been able to afford any more fish until now. The tank was treated for finrot at the time and all of the other fish are fine now.
I am planning on getting a load more fish to put into the tank in the next few weeks but wanted to let it settle after the water change.
Im not sure of the size of the tank but I will post a photo in a minute.
What is the best way to ensure that the tank is ok for new fish to be introduced?
