If I use pieces from someone elses tank, do I still need to use ammonia for starting my cycle?
you always seem to come up with these wierd, wacky ideas that for some reason make sense lol... that in theory is a good idea, i just wonder, as well, if it would workForget what cooking show I heard about it on (Good Eats, I think) the decaying shrimp almost start immediately to break down into ammonia. But I would how long it would take for it to be in quantities start feeding the bacteria.
Huh? Wondering if you put a stocking on the end of a gravel vac and do a deep vac of the gravel......... If the "gravel dirt" could be placed in a new tank to help get the ammonia level going? The gravel dirt is decomposing food and poo, would stand to reason....
that beta wont know how to act in a 70g tank... ive never seen a beta in anything bigger than a cup like you'd get sweet n sour sauce at a chinese restaurant in...Thanks for your input! I have already moved the fish over to the 70G, I just used filter media from an establised tank, some gravel and a fake plant. He is happily swimming away in his new home! He is one crazy guy! I can even "bottle feed" him already! I feed him his bloodworms with a kitten feeder and he definitley knows when it's time to eat! I also got some fish for the tank he was in, since that was cycled also lol. And I got a betta. I went from no fish to 9 fish in 2 weeks....HAHAHA! LOVE IT!
