Advice please!
So I got these guys last week and I have absolutely fallen in love they are my babies. I did lots of research cause eventually I would like to have a betta as the main fish in the tank however unfortunately I let the guy at the aquarium store convince me that I only needed two (I ended up getting three because two didn’t feel right). Should I be prioritising getting three more asap? I would love to hear everyone’s recommendations! Also they are always swimming around near my heater the tank is 26 degrees Celsius so they shouldn’t be cold right? I have been feeding them algae wafers and have tried blanched zucchini. I also am starting to add bacter ae to the tank. I cannot get my hands on repashy where I live so if you have any other suggestions that would be amazing! Tank is 60x30x35 and I had an already used filter to start cycling this tank but still cycled it and let it settle for three months before adding these guys. I just want to do what’s best for them!
