Adding More Fish

[Ben Foster]

hey guys, I’m back. My fishless cycle wasn’t going anywhere, so I bought 4 danios to help speed it up and it helped, they’re all still alive. (Yay) My ammonia is at .25 ppm, nitrite at 0 and nitrate at 10. My nitrite has already spiked, and it’s Back down. Do you guys think I could add a few ghost shrimp? Or maybe tetras? Thanks. I have a 20H

As long as you have ammonia, imo I would say def not. I would give it a bit longer.

You can always add Stability to speed up the cycling process.

If your ammonia is continuesly at .25 it could just be a false positive especially if your getting nitrates after a nitrite spike.

Yeah, at one point my nitrites were at 8 ppm now they’re 0, and my nitrate got to 40 ppm. So that could be possible. I’ll just give it a little more time. Thank you
