Can somebody give me a quick lesson on how I transition from the end of my cycle to adding fish? ^^
I understand that after the fishless cycle ends and I am at 0 amm, 0 nitrite, and 0-20 ppm for nitrate my cycle is complete but my question is...
If my ammonia is a 0 how soon until the good bacteria begin to starve?
If I add only say a shrimp + 1 fish initially, won't they not provide enough waste? = good bacteria starving?
Also, I saw something regarding coral dips in order to get rid of any bacteria and such, does such a thing exist for fish? I am planning on quarantining in the future but I was wondering if products like this worked well too
