Hello everyone i am new to the forum and have a few questions and concerns. I have had several aquariums in the past and know the basics but after more research and talking to many different people i have came to realize that everyone tells me some thing different and im just looking for answers. I have a 55 gal setup with heater 60 gal filter and thermometer with live plants and natural looking substrate and i have 3 rosy barbs in there now. This is my 5 th day into the nitrogen cycle and my ph is at 8 and my ammonia is still at 0. My first question is that will my fish be ok in the tank during the cycling process? I have done this before and i have had no problems but i dont want to risk my fish lives. Also the cycle usually take 4-6 weeks right? During this time period your not supposed to change the water right? I have a few other questions but ill hold off for now so you guys can help me with these first. Thanks for your time!
