make sure she cycles her tank first, if it's a new tank. otherwise she'll have problems. and try not to over feed.

cycle means like letting it run and building up the good bacteria before you add the fish. you can use fish to cycle the tank, but many people advise against it. if you don't cycle it, the fish poop makes the water toxic to them, too much ammonia, and they die. :( so you need the good bacteria to eat up all the ammonia and nitrates and stuff. :yes:

if you clean the tank out, DO NOT use soap, just mild water. soap will kill the fish too.


oh if you use tap water, you have to use a chemical to make the water safe for the fish, most tap water has cholorine in it, the chemical breaks it down. the one i use is called Aqua Safe. http://www.walmart.com/ip/TetraAqua-...c-Pets/3635396

NightStalker: it gets pretty clean, just make sure it isn't slimy feeling or have hard water stains. if you use soap, you can't rinse enough to get all the soap residue out, so it's better not use any soap, just use like warm water. :yes:

I saw an injured swallow on campus today. I have class for today still though so I didn't pick the little guy up or anything. I'm not even sure I should. I know they're protected birds here. But I'm pretty sure time in a hot car would kill the poor thing. I have 3 hours still before my next class. not sure what I should do. I keep thinking of the poor little bird...
