Ok, so, I broke my collar bone a few weeks ago, and haven't really been able to do any water changes, or test my water. Well today, I tested the water, and my ammonia was 0 nitrites were through the roof, along with my nitrates! I have no clue as to whether or not i'm cycled, but my last readings before the break were 2 ammonia, 0nitrites, and in between 0 and 5 nitrates. Well, after freaking out today, I got my mom to help me change the water, I did a 50% pwc. I have the API master kit, and a ten gallon tank that was set up 3 months ago. Now for my questions...
1. Am I cycled, or is this the nitrite spike?
2. If i'm not cycled, is it normal for fish in cycles to take this long?
3. I recently had guppies that all died during this fiasco. Are they good indicator fish?
4. This ones kind of off topic, but could I do 6 black skirt tetras in there? With the promise of them getting moved to a 29 gallon this summer?
