Hi all.
I thought my tank had finished cycling (read zero ammonia and nitrites for two days) So I ordered 6 cherry barbs and 4 japonica shrimp.
Tested my water last night and the levels were off the scale, I don't know why as I did nothing to the tank. The fish are in transit and are due to arrive Friday, I don't really want to send them back as they are mail order and I think one trip is enough stress for them. I have just done a 60% water change to try and bring the levels down...Are there any more suggestions. I'm in a bit of a pickle with this one!
