New 20g Tank

I'm not sure if this is where I'm supposed to post this, so I'll delete and repost if I need to.

I got a 20g tank for Christmas and I wanted some opinions on fish to get for it. I'm in no hurry right now 'cause I want to get my 5g and 10g tanks right before I set the 20g up { I'm having calcium deposit issues }. I do know that I want a couple of blue gouramis. I have a bronze and pearl one in my 10g and I love them! So does anyone have suggestions on what does well with gouramis?

Nah, you're good right here so don't worry about it! First things first. Go and get some pure ammonia, which is sometimes hard to find. I found some at Ace Hardware. Easy to tell if it is pure and has no surfactants. Just shake the bottle, if it foams PUT IT BACK. We have a great video tutorial on fishless cycling that can walk you through the whole process. Let us if you have any questions. oh, BTW the videos are all located in the "site comments" sub section. Let me know if you have trouble finding it.

Glad you enjoyed it. Also for further help in that area I have taken an article written by a member who is great at explaining things. It is now located on the front page and might also help to break down the whole cycling processes, myths, and benefits of using fishless cycling. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
