Hello,
My tank has been cycle for a few weeks now, with 0 NH3, 0 NO2, and some NO3. I introduced 6 corys and a rainbow shark. I bought Hikari sinking wafers and shrimp pellets, and feed them twice a day morning and evening because thats what I kept reading. For about 3 days everything was fine as I monitored the water and came up with 0 reading of NH3 and NO2.
Just yesterday, NH3 remained at zero but Nitrite went up to .25ppm
I went ahead and did a 50% PWC with Prime as de-chlorinator
Did I get overzealous with the feeding? And did my tank go into a mini-cycle? How often do you feed your corys and rainbow shark?
