I just got an 55 gallon aquarium yesterday, set it up. Today, I went to buy some tropical fish. I went ahead and filled the tank with water and that water conditioner. Then, I added some plants. Added the fish and Nutrafin Cycle.
This is my first time setting up a aquarium so I didn't know that I had to wait for the tank to cycle and then add my fishies.
What I have in my tank: 2 angelfish, 5 guppies, 5 danios, 1 catfish and a snail.
I'm really worried now, they fish seem to be doing fine. I do a Ammonia test every hour or so, I'm really paranoid that the ammonia is going to keep rising and rising with my poor fish inside.
The ammonia seems to be at a .5 at the moment and seems to be rising slowly. What should I do? Will the plants I added lower the ammonia levels?
Please keep inmind that this is a 5 hour old aquarium I'm dealing with here.
