Thank you for your replies you've been really helpful I'm just going to slowly add fish while monitoring the water and see what happens nknk

Im sorry it was a joke I forget how badly things are misinterpreted on the internet my apologies. Thank you for replying I'm super confused now because day 4 into the cycle everything is 0 now, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates are 0 is this normal I need to know whether I can start adding other...

Thank you intelligent fish people for not sharing your useful fish knowlege to this girl who clearly needs it lol

Hey there I set up a new tank the other day a 15 gal I added the correct amount of tetra safe start to the tank then put two shrimp and two guppies in there, I tested the water 24 hours later and the results were ammonia 0.1ppm nitrite 0ppm and nitrate 5ppm then I tested another 24 hours later...

I think maybe a few weeks I'm just not sure if she is closer or not and I would like to be prepared, thanks :)

I have a nursery tank set up and fish shop willing to take any babies to sell on so it's ok I shouldn't get overstocked. But thank you all for you advice at least I know she is pregnant.

I got her yesterday but realised her gravid spot is much darker and bigger than the other female in there? Is this an indication she is pregnant?

Just thought I would add an update for anyone who reads this who made the same mistake as me yesterday I added some tetra safestart to the tank 25ml. This morning I have tested the water and ammonia is now 0 nitrite is 0 and nitrate is 10 so I think the tetra safestart helped complete this cycle...

Ammonia was 6 now 3 nitrate 100 now 50 and nitrite 1 and its remained 1 even with water change even though I know it's meant to be 0 (obviously not while going through a cycle though), and I did test my tap water nitrate was 10 and nitrite was zero ia

Ok well thank you for your advice, I'll be sad if the fish don't make it but I have certainly learnt my lesson, do you know at what point my tank has cycled to and how much longer it could take ? hank

I have already contacted the shop and they are refusing to take them because one of them is sick I have no choice but to just try otherwise they are going to die. I am using api ammonia test strips, and tetra 6 in one strips, and for the water I am using stress zyme plus and stress coat plus...
