Thanks alot for that greatful info bscman! First of, here is a picture of my tank i took today: http://rapidshare.com/files/34553109...07163.jpg.html (choose "free" and it will take u to the download page to download the picture)

Ok so what i have right now is the following, like in the picture, 4 fake plants, 1 filter and the gravle basically, so i will buy the vacum tommorow, its like 10 bucks i belive and no i wont add any more fish for few good weeks.. i will suck like 10% of the water with the vacum and then i will add fresh water to the tank and fill in the amount i took out with the vacum, right? oh and i will also clean ONLY 1 thing at a time so for example this sunday probably when i clean my tank i will only clean 1 plant this time, the next time i will clean a different plant and so on until i clean all my plants(4 plants) and then i will clean the gravle? or should i clean the gravle a little bit in every clean and just 1 plant/decoration at a time? btw i didnt buy lettuce yet so i cant try if he likes it but i went to petland today again and they ahve seeweed there and she said he will like it, i didnt buy it tho, i might be it if u guys say its good, is it good for the fish? btw what do u mean when u say flakes? do they sell these in petland and what brand do u recommand if theres any specific, oh btw about the cleaning, i will buy tommorow the 2 coats u know, the stress coat and the other coat.. she told me to put HALF a spoon from each coat everytime i put fresh water, meaning when i do a water change, oh btw , right now the only food i feed my fishy is "goldfish food", its like small leaves, i just take some with my two fingers and put it in the tank, the float at first but later on they just sink, what food is good for the fish that he likes and sinks so it will be on the ground of the tank for example, i would guess shrimp but i dont buy shrimp so thats not a real option. oh and i forgot to ask 1 more thing, is it ok that im turning off the aquarium light when i go to sleep? there is no light at a;; in the room when i turn the aquarium light off, does it matter for the fish? is what i just said correct?
