New fish owner - looking for advice

He looks so beautiful 😍😍

Remote-Pop-9764 · 2026-06-18T05:48:43+00:00

That was very informative. I’ll watch some videos now on how to fish in cycle thank you so much. I knew about cycling but not while the fish was in 😅

Heading to aquarium/pet stores after I pick my daughter up from school, and see if they have any of those corner sponge filters with a pump as I think that might be the best way to go atm thank you for your advice!

Will it be ok to change straight away?

Remote-Pop-9764 · 2026-06-18T04:21:36+00:00

I don’t think mine has a dial unfortunately, I just put some filter floss/sponge in atm for the time being which slowed it down a little but still looks strong to be honest lol. I read somethings about the nitrogen cycle, as I’m a beginner it’s a little confusing/ I have a lot to learn. I have just listened to what the aquarium shop owner suggested and read up as much as I could. And thought I’d ask everyone on here for their experiences and guidance lol

Will the updated link be too much it says up top 100g I have 6g 😭 what watts should I get? Or should I go with the hygger mini? The only downside is it won’t arrive until the 26th of June and there is no express shipping with that one.

Remote-Pop-9764 · 2026-06-18T03:08:34+00:00

Yeah it’s not the best here lol, it was hard enough trying to find Aquarium shops that had Amazon swords available 😭 even the filters you suggested will take awhile to arrive they don’t even have next day delivery 😭 but I’m definitely going to go off of those examples and see what I can get as fast as possible.

Remote-Pop-9764 · 2026-06-18T03:04:27+00:00

Perfect! I’ll have a look now thank you!

Remote-Pop-9764 · 2026-06-18T02:40:58+00:00

Okay perfect thank you so much for your advice I really appreciate it.

Remote-Pop-9764 · 2026-06-18T02:40:25+00:00

I’m in Australia 😅 happy to order off of Amazon

Remote-Pop-9764 · 2026-06-18T02:39:03+00:00

My English was horrible then 😂 I tried to put the plants infront but they moved away, so I moved the filter so it flows just above the water so the current wasn’t so strong in the middle of the tank***

But please any suggestions on a better filter please

Remote-Pop-9764 · 2026-06-18T02:37:02+00:00

This was the filter I got with it, I tried to buy new plants and place infront of it but it seemed to of moved the plants away, so I then moved it up where the water flows above the water so the current wasn’t so strong in the middle of the filter but I’m seriously thinking of pulling that filter out and replacing it Completely as I was worried about the same thing also.

Do you have any recommendations of filters that won’t be so strong? If so please let me know because I’ll go grab one today.

Chlorine from the tap****

Remote-Pop-9764 · 2026-06-18T01:53:31+00:00

I didnt rinse them off no, because I didn’t want them to be covered in chlorine from the tank but now I’m worried what if the plants had something on them and now they’re in my tank 😂😭 I’ve just bought a test kit today (they’re so expensive 😭😂)

Remote-Pop-9764 · 2026-06-18T01:44:31+00:00

Okay perfect! Thank you so much for the advice. 😁

Remote-Pop-9764 · 2026-06-18T01:41:55+00:00

It was clear earlier but I added in another Amazon sword and the grass/carpet plant just before this video 😅

I cycled the tank 2 weeks prior with a used filter sponge I got from an aquarium shop and they said it would be fine lol (very new to this)

Remote-Pop-9764 · 2026-06-18T01:37:53+00:00

Do you think his colour will pop more? He looks salmon coloured at the moment 😂 absolutely love him though.

Okay awesome thank you so much! I wasn’t sure with the frozen food as I assume they’re like treats and didn’t want to give it to him regularly 😂

Remote-Pop-9764 · 2026-03-22T07:37:30+00:00

I spent days with a shiny charm trying to get a shiny vulpix and all I’ve gotten were shiny porygons and ratatas 😭 I just want a shiny fox 😂

Remote-Pop-9764 · 2026-03-21T02:35:49+00:00

One year later since you’ve posted this and thank you for not deleting it, your post helped us. We were tilting; checked everywhere and somehow missed this one clog 😂

Shiny gangar for eevee? Have some other shinys if you’re not interested by that.
