Once my tank has finished cycling Im toying with the idea of adding some natural plants (probably Java fern on volcanic rock). My question is once I add it to a tank that has finished cycling, do I need to then continue to add ammonia (as opposed to adding fish) to ensure that the plants dont affect the cycling of the tank? Also, do you need to do anything to the plants before introducing them to the tank to avoid possibly damaging the bacteria balance etc?
I've always used artificial plants in the past so a little lost when it comes to the genuine thing.
