setting up new aquarium....frogs....algae eaters, etc.

[Danya]

okay, some of you may have read my first post about my swordtail,
guppy, and tetras but anyway...

so, i have a 10 gallon tank at the moment that houses 1 male sword, 1
male guppy, 1 painted glass tetra, and 1 long finned serpae tetra.
i'm currently in the process of cycling a 32 gallon tank. i was just
curious how frogs get along with these types of fish...? and also, if
i end up getting algae in my tank (which didn't happen in my 10
gallon, set up for over 6 months), which type of algae eaters are best
and less aggressive? i don't want a big ugly thing sucking on the
glass, sorry maybe i'm a bit superficial but i like pretty things.
haha.

oh, and also how can i get my 32 gal to cycle quicker? maybe adding
the fake plants from my 10 gal into the 32 gal? i'm clueless on this.
if i don't do anything like that, how long should i let it cycle
before adding the fish?

well any replies are welcome! i need lots of info since this is my
first bigger tank. thanks

thanks for the info. so are the fish still living? lol. what kind
of fish are they? it's just i've had my swordtail for about 5 months
now and i definitely wouldn't wanna lose him! i've already put some
stuff in the water to get the chlorine, etc. out, but it's been
sitting for a week so the chlorine just would have evaporated by
itself by now anyway. i guess i'm just afraid of killing my existing
fish. if i buy new fish at petsmart and they die, i can always take
them back within 14 days, but not my existing ones.

i checked the levels of my 10 gal the other day and all the levels are
really high because i haven't done a gravel vac in so long. if i were
to gravel vac the 10 gal and put that water into the 32 gal, would
that help the cycling process at all?
thanks in advance
