Maybe even a cherry shrimp or a amano.

Going to be a fun day, good luck.

Thanks we'll see, I'm hoping there won't be any casualties. Do you think I should add any water contidioners ? I'm assuming that the chlorine in the water has disappeared since I didn't do any water changes and the plants are ok.

I'm confused. Did you not add water conditioner at water change?

[bluethunder261]

Actually no I didn't because I don't have any fish. All I have done since I started was do the daily 50% water changes, feel the plants their initial root tabs, and Leaf Zone. But no water conditioner. I also didn't recall seeing anywhere mentioned that I should condition the water for a Low Tech Tank. Lol.... good thing I'm asking this question.

I'm assuming the water will be fine since it's been over a 24 hr period since the last 50 % water change.

Even though there's no fish in the tank, I think you still need to condition water. Chlorine might kill beneficial bacteria in the filter at water change if you don't add conditioner.

[bluethunder261]

Sounds like a plan then I'll just pickup a bottle and add I prior to adding the fish today.

I wouldn't take any risk to be honest. Water conditioner is cheap.

[bluethunder261]

Thanks for the advice. Adding the conditioner to the water and letting it do its job shouldn't have any adverse reactions to the fish when I add then say like a hr later.

I'm using Seachem Safe as water conditioner. Best on the market.

It should instantly neutralize tap water.

[bluethunder261]

I appreciate the advice guys....last thing I want to do is cause any undue harm to the fish.
