Tank Is Not Cycleing?

[loveforfhishies]

i have put 3 zebra danios in my 55 gallon tank about 5 days ago. they were doing exellent the 2nd day so i put 2 more danios in there ( 5 danios total now ) and it has been a total of 5 days and there is not a trace of ammonia in my tank. I EVEN PUT LIVE MEDIA IN MY FILTERS.

whats the deal, do i need to put more fish in it, what do i do?

The bioload on the tank is still too light. The tank will cycle eventually and there will never be much of a rise in the ammonia or nitrites. You will need at least a dozen small fish in there plus some good feeding.

Instead of adding more and more fish, you could just overfeed a little bit, and what will help to build up the bacteria.
