So I set up a 15 gallon freshwater tank last week. I used the start up bacteria in a bottle, put in the plants, waited a few days and then added 3 guppies (my daughters choice....). They have been in 3 days now and I tested the water thinking I was going to have to do a change. Ammonia barely detectable, nitrite zero and nitrate 20. So, it is possible that the tank cycled that fast with the addition of the bacteria? Everything seems fine, water is clear, fish are active and hungry, temp is stable etc....
