I was wondering I added 2 platies, and 2 mollys in a 55 gallon tank and a Emperor 400 filter. I checked the ammonia level a few minutes ago and its .50 ppm, and the PH is 7.2 no Nitrates that I can tell. Should I look for something as to when its safe to add Fish its been 3 to 4 days The temp is 75 F. The only thing is the water is slightly cloudy, The only thing I have in there is Stress coat to remove Chlorine, and Salt according to the directions.
Thanks Mike

Not sure what exactly you are trying to ask. You're not wondering if you should add ammonia whilst you have fish in there are you? that's a definite no-no.

By the sounds of it, you are doing a fish in cycle of your tank, which will require many water changes to keep your fish healthy. The best advice i can give is look around the forum for topics about doing a fish-in cycle. There are enough around.
