im in the process of cycling my tank still, last time i checked (yesterday) the ammonia levels were 2.0
a lfs is having a sale that ends today, peppermint shrimp for $3 (normally $9) and ive always been interested in getting some. problems is, my tank still cycling
im asking, what levels of ammonia are bearable, while i understand 0 is ideal
if the ammonia is too high, (and i know this may sound a bit extreme), i have an empty 1gal and 10 gal tanks, that i could keep the shrimp in with store water (i'd ask for a lot of water) for a week or two
please understand that im very much into animal rights, and would not just throw shrimp into a partially cycled tank
EDIT: see my launching thread for more details about the tank
