Re: Tell me about. . . caring for fish.
i should have said the first time, that when you first set up a tank, bacteria has to grow in the filter/gravel to take away the amonia the fish leaves behind in waste, during the process (like a month for a 10 gallon, i dunno for one as small as 2.5) the PH levels wont be steady and it's pretty stressful on the fish, it's common for the starter fish to die. There are some chemical ways to cycle a tank in a couple days, but it costs more and i don't know much about it.
