Hi WelshSamantha.
Cycling looks like it's well on its way.
Before deciding on fish, take a bucket of your source water, presumably tap, leave it for 24 hours and test it. Check Ph, Kh, Gh, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. This will tell you your starting point for the tank and highlight any problems that you might encounter from your tap. My water is very soft, zero Kh and zero Gh and although I do buffer these up a bit I have opted for a range of fish that like those parameters and have no hard water high Ph loving fish. It's much easier to go with the flow than to add fish that won't really thrive in the source water.
Hope the cycling completes soon.

Yay! That's a good feeling.

Do you prefer active fish, or peaceful ones?
