Finished Fish-In Cycle Successfully

Fishkeeper4567 · Jan 25, 2011

Hi everyone. Thought I'd just let you know that my aquarium is fully cycled. I have only had one fish death through no fault of my own. ( ill I think when I bought it). Does this mean I can start to add more fish? or is it different to fish-less cycling? Thanks in advance.

Are you getting 0 readings on Ammonia and Nitrites consistantly? If so then yes as long as you have room. But do it slowly, you should never more than double your stock at any one time. and even then I'd be careful. What do you have right now?

Yeah. I am only adding very slowly. A maximum of three fish every 4 weeks. As for my current stock level I have two male guppy's (one died) and that's it. In about 3 weeks time I'm going to get a group of oto catfish. Thanks for the post.
