harrywwh Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 If U are sure your tank had been cycled, then introduced them into your tank might not be a problem, IMO FA should be introduce first cos it is not so aggressive as compare to BT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member chrislwp Posted May 10, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted May 10, 2004 Bernard, I really wonder if you cycle has completed. In just 3 weeks and your No3 is already 0. Did you do a major water change to make it 0? Quote Tank 4x2x2.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weapon_Master Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 To be honest I doubt a BT will survive in a 3 weeks old week even if cycling is complete. BT is very dedicate (not as hardy) and will be better off in a tank that is 6 months old or at least 3 months to be safer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My BT (still alive) is in my 4+ month old tank and I had introduced my new Flame Angel 2 days ago. but my BT keep on attack my flame angel, that why I wanted to transfer either one of them over to my new 3 weeks old tank. but scared either one of them can't take it. anyway my flame angel really become ANGEL liao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAV-65 Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Bro a good way would be to list down the fishes u intend to keep, then add them in the the sequence of the most timid ones 1st to the most agressive one... dat way, the more timid ones get a chance to settle down 1st, also, when the next fish to go in is not available, it forces you to keep waiting, and u can cycle longer...

Vincent Ho Now in my 3 weeks old tank has 2 damsel, 1 clownfish and 1 bicolor blenny. my 4+ month old tank has 1 fishgoby, 1 goby (not sure it name) and 1 bluetang. And my next to buy will be, yellow tang and flame angel. please advice which one should go into the new tank first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuEl Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 What test kits are you using in the first place? Many brands are notorious for giving ridiculous readings.
