[AquaticLife]Finished Cycling????
Hi - I need more advice. I have a 10 gal with 4 male guppies and the Cory catfish. I have lost several of the “boys” thru this cycling process. All started to shimmy and then died. I found I don’t like taking dead fish out of the tank.
Using the Master test kit, I just tested the water and results showed ammonia 0; nitrite 0 and nitrate 0. I thought the nitrate should be higher if the nitrite and ammonia are 0. Am I done cycling? Is it safe to add more fish?
Also I was looking around the local thrift store this AM and found a bag of used aquarium shells - probably from a salt tank. There is a piece of pink coral, several small snail shaped shells, one of which is green in color, and several other more salt like decorations - all are small. I am currently boiling them. Is it safe to add them to my freshwater tank or will they still emit salt?
Thanks Carole
