For some reason I thought that since my gf used top fin bacteria booster the very first night I started the tanks cycle(enough for 20 gallons because we thought the tank was a 20 instead of a 10 at the time). My filter would not grow bacteria properly or not work as efficient. I panicked like the newb I am when the water got all cloudy and did a horrible thing. I wish I put them in the 2 gallon bowl and did more research. sigh its too late now.. the filter cartridge is all dried up.
any advice on what to do now?
So when you have a bacteria bloom or algae bloom when cycling fish in.. are you supposed to take the fish out? sorry for all the misunderstandings.
Now it seems that the bigger dwarf platy "Mango" is now being agressive to the smaller "Coral". He keeps on creeping up on him and chasing him around. This is a first... Recently mango has been gotten a lot bigger... could he be trying to eat him? Or is he getting territorial... hmm
They both males.
