Tetra Safe Start?
Hi Everyone,
I haven't kept fish in about 9 years, and I wasn't exactly an expert at the time. My 7-year-old is getting a 10 gallon tank for Christmas. As a result, I can't exactly do fishless cycling - you can't tell a 7-year-old, "Merry Christmas! You can have an actual fish in three weeks!" I'm going back and forth on doing daily water changes, or trying Tetra Safe Start. Have any of you ever tried it? Does it work? (The stocking plan is starting with 3 zebra danios (GloFish) OR three male fancy guppies, with an eventual max of 6 fish of whichever species she chooses.)
Also, when we add a new fish for a couple of months, would a 1 or 2 gallon tank work as a quarantine tank? Thanks in advance.
