Is it possible to cycle a tank in 5 days? My little tank is showing 0.25 ammonia , 0ppm nitrite and and 40ppm nitrate?

If it was seeded but i don't think I'd call it cycled if not
It did have a used filter which may hold some BB. Also had rocks and driftwood transferred from another tank
What's a good algae eater that cichlids won't harm or kill, I have all peacocks and a few red zebras
This is standard Cichlid territorial aggression. All my dwarfs will do this from time to time. When being attacked they to for the side it hardly does damage but it gets the point across that the space is theirs. I'd say your okay it's gonna be unavoidableOne of the males seems protective over a to corner of the tank. He isn't over there all the time but likes to sit up there for a minute then go back down. When another male goes near it he appears to peck at their side. He eats and has no physical signs of illness?

Just picked up. Ore females. I had nitrates of 40ppm in my big tank,which is weird since I do water changes practically every other day? So I did two water changes of around 30% each last night. I haven't tested again but I'm gonna test the tap water
Yep. Tap has 30ppm nitrates! Great. So either way I'll end up with high nitrates. I got 3 females since he had trouble sexing them. I was confident these 3 are females
Sounds like my girlfriends tap. I fill and drive 30 gallons a week from my house to hers for water changes. Is it well? Hers is a well and mines city. It's also hard as a rock with a ph through the roof lol
Nah not as far as I know. Will they be okay with the nitrates though? I know it is far from ideal. But is there chances that they can breed? If everything else is correct? The pH here is 7.6 so quite hard.
