so, i just set up my tank today. i went out early and got almost everything i was sure i needed for my dinos . i got a 5 gallon tank, gravel, a heater, a filter, plants, a littlt cave/rock thing, and then i set it all up at home, got the heater running and then headed out around 5:30 to get fish food, a light, and the fish and the frog that i wanted! but the lady at petco seemed shocked when i told her the tank had only been up and running for less than 12 hours. she wouldn't even let me get the six fish i planned to buy. she told me 5 was a better number and that i should only get 3 to start with. so i did. i got the fish and the frog plus the food but they didn't have the light i needed so i had to head home without it. it and it just gets worse. one fish didn't survive the ride even though i held the bag securly in my lap. i made sure he was dead as a rock before letting him go. my zebra's seem to be doing fine. they are swimming around and all that. but my frog it just wild. he is swimming all over the place up and down and mainly near the edge of the tank like suddenly the glass wall is going to vanish. i suppose moving around is better than laying at the bottom but i'm just new to all this so i don't know what's normal behavior for them yet. is there a policy on feeding? when should i start feeding them? when will they reconize the food? i dropped in a few flakes but they didn't even look at it. a few words of encouregment would really help right now!!
thanks!!!
thanks!!!
