In theory, if I cycle to 2ppm ammonia and then put in my tank a few tiny fry and some juvie shell-dwellers which make at most .01ppm ammonia, do I lose all that bacteria that was grown to handle the remaining 1.99ppm?
Also, in such a situation, if I'm not quite cycled (there are about 0.1ppm nitrites left) can I drop my fish in and not worry about the remaining bit of nitrites since cycling to 2ppm ammonia is probably overkill? (I would do a 95% PWC first, of course).
