Maybe you should do some rearranging....lol. I have a 55g and a 10g in my room. No room for anymore tanks though...so I've spilled over into the living room downstairs...oh yes...there are many unused walls in that room that will soon be filled up.

I'm sure you can find some room for another tank....

everyday that your fish are healthy is a good day. no cloudiness=good sign my friend.

well you see...im pretty young and my parents run the show here! but ya matt... when do i know that i can get more fish?? i wanna start asap! but i know that i dont wanna kill fish just cuz i didnt wait for the tank to cycle properly..btw today was day 2 with these danios and they are very hyper...looking healthy...one keeps stealing all the food while the other doesnt even notice...any suggestions?

 

[MattAquaBio]

doesnt notice the food? is he heating? not eating isnt a good sign, not an indication of tank conditions but of illness. Next time you feed check to make sure he eats.
Whenever your ammonia and nitrite levels are 0 then you can add more fish, but remember to add them gradually, one or two a week. If today is the second day i'd say you have another two weeks to go before your cycled at least. I know its hard not to buy fish to soon lol, but trust me when i say its worth the wait. Patience is a staple in this hobby.
If you add fish to soon you can restart the cycle itself which would make it take longer AND add stress to your fish which could kill them, last thing you want is to add a fish to soon while the tank is cycling and then the fish get stressed and get ick, then have to treat ich in a cycling aquarium and have to wait atleast 2 more weeks after that for hte ick to be gone.
So short answer- when ammonia and nitrite=0 ppm.

hey matt! sorry for the delayed answer...i was outta the house all day...but ya he eats, but is scared of the other one so he eats from the bottom of the tank after the other one's attention is diverted...doesnt seem sick...he's super hyper...ok haha ya i just got myself a water test kit! im ready now!
