Not to bash, but you should ask this before you purchase:)

Question...What about your Ammonia/water cycling???
Did you fix it? If not, you could be hurting any fish you put in there.. :sad1:

I've had no problems with them nipping, but as you probably know it is hit or miss. You may get a model citizen, or a hell child.

If you have any ammonia showing, you shouldnt add anything. I would suggest slowing down a bit and letting your cycle catch up.

Just to let you know...you can pay for your fish a have LFS hold them (most places anyhoo)
Keep a very close eye on your parameters, if it spikes at ALL you should def take your fish out! That is one that has no seconds thoughts about killing fish!! Your CB may not take to it, and she might die. Keep an eye on her..if she starts to show bad signs...take her OUT!! :)
I hope all goes well for you!

You might want to look into the TurboStart tonight if you don't want to part with your fish. It should help with your cycle.

I have a lemon peel and a coral beauty. I have had zero issues (knock on wood). I feed tiny pellets and brine and they love both. Enjoy.
