Hey thanks! I've seen some online fish dealers, but I'm concerned about how good shipping would be for the fish. Secondarily, the shipping cost has to be very high. But mainly, I hate to think about the trauma to the fish.
We broke down and got some fish. I've been testing the water religiously, and the parameters seem fine. No ammonia, no nitrites and very low nitrates.
We got some zebra danios and some serpae tetras as those are supposed to be hardy and more forgiving of slightly changing environs. I'm continuing to test every other day until I stop freaking out.
We had a bacterial bloom on the second fishless day but now the water has cleared. It seemed early to me, but it happened for some reason.
I have given up on plecos after reading more about them (or unless I get a second tank for them.) They are gorgeous though.
