1Vampiregirl said:He probably could, I wouldn't add any fish to a cycling tank. It's cruel and unnecessary. And tons of work for you 'coz you'd have to keep ammo/nitrite below 0 with daily PWC, sometimes more than once a day.
IMHO, it's more rewarding to add a fish to a clean safe tank when the cycle is done and your CUC has worked on whatever mess the cycling process left behind.
Lane1223 said:Ok cool. Yeah thanks. I have no money right now and so I can't buy anymore salt. My bag that I have has enough for maybe 10 gallons of water. I know.... So since I have hermits and snails, do I need to feed them?
1Vampiregirl said:I didn't feed mine, there was enough algea and detritus for them to feast on.

1Vampiregirl said:Weigh it. Lol
1Vampiregirl said:Yeah, I know I re-scaped a couple of times and the water was very cloudy for some 30 mins.
Guesstimate?
