	how many razzies
divertran Fish Addict Posts: 784 Kudos: 469 Votes: 165 Registered: 14-Nov-2004	Hey ya'll. I currently have eight harlequin rasboras in a 29 gallon tank, along with a few co habitants. I had to strip the 10 gallon tank down and start over. I am planning a dwarf puffer tank. My question is, I am planning to cycle the tank using some of the razzies. How many should I transfer over there to do the job? I am thinking about four or five.

Using harlies to cycle...hmmm well...if you keep a close eye on it. I'd suggest using a bacterial additive/use seeded filters or gravel from an established tank. ^_^[hr width='40%']"Has someone taken your faith? It's real, the pain you feel.

I am planning on using Harlequin Rasboras to cycle my next tank as well and any input before it is too late would be appreciated. Thanks, Ingo Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club

The only problem arose when one tried swimmin under a stone and got stuck. I freed him and aside for swimming bent for a few hours till he straightened out, he was fine. :%):%)
