Fish Aficionado
I just have tested my 33 gallon for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.
Ammonia is about 3-4ppm ish, nitrite is 0, nitrate is above 20ppm and I have fish in the tank, about 7 white clouds, shrimp and two convict cichlid fry juveniles.
I have never cycled the tank, tests showed it, as I got the tank in a quick emergency to house my swordtails and mollies in a bigger tank and so I have never cycled the tank.
I will be doing a 75% (or should I do less?) water change to lower the ammonia.
How should I do a fish in cycle with my livebearers being in a seperate tank?
I am treating my livebearers with aquarium salt in my spare 60L tank, and when the fish in cycle would be over, should I add 2-3 livebearers per 2 weeks to freshy cycled tank?
And how do I keep the cycle running without crushing it down?

Tank water in my 33 gallon has some yellowish tinge which I have been told that it is some microscopic algae..
