Hi everyone, I have been cycling my danios in a 20 gal for about 11 days now. I started with 4, and about the 5th day I lost one so I went to by 2 more of the same fish to replace the 1 lost, and just yesterday I lost another so im back at 4. I have been testing daily using the master test kit from api for ammonia, ph, nitrite, and nitrate and sometimes 2 times daily and making the proper water changes as needed. My ammonia seems to be very stable at around .25ppm sometimes even after a water changes. Today would be my 12th day into cycling my questions are did adding the new fish hurt my water quality? And should I take anymore precautions besides changing the water? And any other info during this time of my cycle that would help will be much apprieciated, thanks
