Cycle, Cycle, Cycle

Hi everyone!

I'm cycling my new, 9-day-old 20 gallon fish tank. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I am cycling my tank with fish, but now I'm regretting it, and wanting to do it the ammonia way... My fish are fine. There are 3 zebra danios in there right now, doing great on their 4th day.
I just want tips and guidelines to help me get through this painfully long, and new to me, process. Suggestions?
I also will be keeping you up-to-date and be asking questions on this thread almost 24/7 lol!
I will also be posting pics soon on my gallery of my, what I think beautiful, tank.

Thanks!
Ali

I don't think you can cycle the tank with amonia with fish in it.

I would treat the tap water with Prime and be doing 25-40% water changes every 1-2 days.

Hi!

You'll be wanting to do a water change every time the levels get toxic IMO.
