Hey so looking for some help,
I'm a beginner with aquariums and have always left my tanks fish less to cycle and never had a problem. My boyfriend got a 75g and used bacterial supplements and used filter media and added fish after about a week. Everything went fine at firSt but after about 2 weeks the fish started dying. There was a lone pleco in the tank for the last 3ish weeks as we assumed the tank was not properly cycled. He unfortunately died, possibly of starvation, he wasn't interesting in algae wafers and was rather thin.
Will be testing water tomorrow for more info, but would the tank be cycled after this long with a fish?
If reads look ok would it be best to start with adding a small group of small fish and adding more slowly?
