these danios are so active! I thought fish was supposed to calm u down and be relaxing... these can make you nervous, lol. they are alot of fun to watch, maybe I sould have gotten all zebra? I really like how they look, The pearls dont look as nice, but maybe they will when they get bigger?

I didnt feed them at all today, and plan to feed sparingly tomorrow.

They sure love to hang out near the surface of the water, but at times they will really swim just about anywhere. Sometimes they school, other times they dont, dart around the tank. One or two were near the bottom, and I wasn't sure if that was normal, and one particular kept going after others, but this is normal, I understand.

I also understand these are jumpers, so I put covered up open areas near and around the filters, which hopefully mgiht reduce evaporation.

I misread... thought it was 24 fish, just realized it was 12.

I gotta say, this whole set-up has been the most dramatic aquarium story I have every followed....

You should set up a web cam in front of the tank so we can all watch!

Update:

Added 12 danios 4 days ago, been feeding very sparingly.
Been doing daily water testing.
Ammonia readings: .50ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm

These fish are very cute, I think they are starting to recognize me and they arent afraid of them if I put my finger or hand near the surface.
How long should I wait until I add a few more fishes? Or do I need to wait completely for the cycle to finish? I dont think it's even started yet, but if I need to wait, thats fine! Im enjoying watching them.

wait to add more fish! trust me, it'll be much better in the long run. It'll be minimum one more month, but more than likely much longer time.

What else did you plan on adding?
