I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the usual ammonia level is for a cycling tank within the first week of cycling?

well i let him look at the catfish selection and hes got his heart set on a pictus catfish and a pangnesious catfish so i dont know yet lol.

Well i was wanting to put fish in my tank that will get bigger than the fish you mentioned because the black ghost knife fish that i am getting is compatible with semi aggressive fish but nothing that is small enough to fit in its mouth.
