alright, as far as the cycling goes, i wasnt quite sure what you meant at first, but i have made a couple water changes with a gravel vaccum tube and with a new bucket, and each time i added fish or changed water i added some chlorine and chloramine remover called start right. ive been feeding my algae eater small portions of algae wafers every week or so. from what i hear i need to take it back, so ill probably do that soon, but i really would like an algae eater if possible, are there any other species that dont get as big or are less agressive? and as far as the tetras, i understand that you typically dont mix different tetras for schools as they are different species, but would there be any other types of tetras that are maybe in the red eye catageory that would be okay to school with the headlight tail light, or are they pretty much there own species. with the platies im not quite sure yet whether or not im going to keep them for a while, would it be okay to give them away once they get too big for the tank, or should i remove them right now. and what would be an ideal shrimp for a 10 gallon. i was looking at a bamboo shrimp, but i dont know if there are any other species that would be better. i also heard they molt, and after they do would i need to take the skin out or would they eat it themselves? thanks again.
