Fish Cycling

[Qays]

I am soon getting a 11 gallon tank, but have cycled another small tank with 10 WCMM's. These will be soon be returned too the lfs

I am then going oto stock the tank with 1 male platy, 3 Aenaeus corys and 5 male guppies.

How many of these fish can i swap with the WCMM's too keep the cycle balanced?

so: 10 wcmm's ammonia release = how many of my stocking lists waste?

Help would be nice!

nope, they can be kept on their own.

I have cycled a tank with 10 White clouds, and i will return these white clouds too the shop soon.

But too keep the bacteria going, i will have to add fish or ammonia so the bacteria doesnt die out.

so, i wanted to know how many of the fish i want too get will keep the cycle balanced out.
