| Plants don’t add bacteria but they do consume some of the toxins |

| Beneficial bacteria can be hit or miss I’ve heard but I personally have had good results with it. If you can steal some established filter media from someone that boosts it too |

| If you add beneficial bacteria which you can get at pet stores it can make it faster :) |

| With cycling though you have to take into account a brand new fresh tank can run forever but unless something is put into the system, it will never be cycled because the beneficial bacteria doesn't have anything to feed on |

| @Zz, just a month is nothing. I can do that. My research says 10-12 weeks which is like 3 months! |
| Angels angels |
| Bird Well if you are wanting just one, a betta is the way to go. They are super friendly and personable and very easy to care for |
| ZequineZ |
| I second the research. Specifically research the nitrogen cycle. Running it for A week isn’t enough usually. Mine took a month |
| Angels angels |
| Em I had them breed back when I had a large angelfish tank lol of course the angels ate the eggs |
| Insignia Elites |
| I would just say overall ALWAYS do your research! Every fish needs something different such as tank size, food. etc. Also some fish don't get along with others. :) Plus what works for one person might not work for another. |

| Corys are cute but they theyre bottom dwelling, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have something else to hang in the middle |
| Angels angels |
| Bird No they are small. You can even get pygmy ones which are really tiny |
| Insignia Elites |
| @bird yes! they scavenge the substrate for food! But watching them breed is really inserting! Mine do every so often but the eggs always get eaten. They are considered a bottom dweller :) |
| Angels angels |
| Bird Yesss I love corys. I always add them to my tank because they eat leftover food that sinks to the bottom and help reduce ammonia spikes |

| Ok so this is a genuine question for any parents on HEE - My mom said dinner's ready and I said what are we having. She said chicken, shrimp, and salad. I said what kind of salad and she started freaking out and telling me I'm rude and not supportive. Now here's the question - Is there a reason for this? |

| Corydoras sound fun too, but evidently they only stay at the bottom of the tank? |
