Thanks for the response. I'm just worried because these are not adult full size fish. I feel terrible to leave them so soon after getting them but I've heard they can go a week without food too. Oh well, we'll see what happens...

I'm away for five days, I've only had my fish in the tank for two weeks after completing a fishless cycle over four weeks. They are young fish, seven small tetras (I'm only half stocked). I can feed them on Monday but I won't be back until late on Friday. Will they be okay without food for four...

Result! Went to Pets At Home this morning to look at the fish and got talking with one of the assistants. When I told him I'd broken some of my test tubes he gave me one of his plastic ones for *free*. :) - Morning numbers: 0ppm Ammonia, 0ppm Nitrate (dosed again up to 2ppm Ammonia) 0ppm...

Glad I'm not the only one! ;)

Hello! I'm nearing the end of my fishless cycle with my 28L tank. This morning I had readings of 0PPM Ammonia, 0PPM Nitrite, 80PPM Nitrate so I did a huge water change and algae clean. Then added some ammonia to take my tank to 2PPM. 12 hours later and my readings were 0.25 Ammonia, 0.25...
