Fish Crazy
While I wait for some nice weather to order my discus,would one gold and one kissing gourami make enough ammonia to hold the bacteria in a 55gal over till the discus get here?
What will the bacteria feed on with no ammonia? Oxygen AND ammonia are needed to keep the bacteria alive, so if you have no fish, just keep adding ammonia until a day or two before you get your fish. Or add the tempory fish you were planning on.catfishfan said:if you really want to make sure the bacterial thrives ... just add an airstone temporarlily. it will oxygenate the water enough to keep the bacteria alive without ammonia
