I don't no how a fishless cycle works, but are you adding ammonia to the tank to start the cycle?
I start my tank by putting one fish in after 24 hours of my tank being setup. I then watch my water for about 4 weeks during that time I notice ammoina levels went up, then nitrite levels went up...
I would take the Tetras and Dannios, as to how many fish you want in your tank, stick 1 inch to to 1 gallon rule and consider adult size's because they will grow on u. Have :fun:
I get my fish and supplies a Capital Aquarium in sacramento california The staff there are very nice and Knowledgeable. All there fish seem happy and heathy
They don't keep betta's in little containers like petsco and petsmart!! :D
I just did a water test and I got these results
Ph 7.6-8.0
Ammonia- 0-.25ppm the color as in between
Nitrite- 0.0PPM
Nitrate- 5.0 ppm
Are these numbers normal?
