When will I know my tank is fully cycled? What am I suppose to look for to know my tank is ready?
I tried a fished cycle because my LFS said it would work..so i purchased 8 zebra danios and they died in 3 days..now I don't know what to do next
Did you add an ammonia source during your cycle? If not than you never cycled your tank. Also do you have a liquid test kit kit check
Your water params?
No..I had my water tested at Petsmart and they said everything looked good. All I needed to do was add dechlorinator. So I did, then waited about 2 days to add the danios to start the fished cycle. None said anything about adding ammonia.
Here is the link to the fishless cycle article. Read it over.
