So I purchased a fluval spec 2.6 gallon as a piece for my desk. A lot of this post will be Captain Hindsight but ill need some help gettting my tank cycled to avoid frequent water changes. I initially set up the tank with eco complete w/floraspore gravel, live bamboo and Argentine spear. I let it run for a couple days and then got impatient and got two longfin danios. One was constantly chasing the other so I got two more and now they school and mostly leave eachother alone. I know its not enough space for four danios but this is my predicament. I used the water from the reputable fish store where i purchased my danios and the water from petco to fill the tank hoping that there would be some beneficial bacteria inside with some treated water from the tap as well. My ammonia levels now are .25ppm with a pH of 7.6 and 0ppm nitrite and 0ppm nitrate. I have a friend with a cycled tank who said he could give me some of his pourous rock but looking around many people seem to think its impossible to cycle a 2.6 gallon and I dont want to do a water change daily. Please help...
