Hello,
I have been doing a fishless cycle for 14 days.
Yesterday I tested my Ammonia level and it was 0.25
So I did a small water change, I removed about 2 gallons. My tank is a 20g.
After testing for Ammonia, (I use liquid testing tubes) my reading was still the same.
1. I was planning on getting fish tomorrow, so I was wondering if 0.25 is safe for fish, or not.
2. If not, do you think do a bigger water change, say 30% (6g) would bring that Ammonia to zero?
Extra Info
Fish- 6 male Guppies, 4 Julii Cories, 7 Neon Tetra. I'm adding the Guppies first, and the tetras last.
Nitrite- 0
pH- 7.0-7.2
Nitrate- 20
Thanks so much for the help! If I do get my fish tomorrow, I'll be getting 3 of the 6 Guppies so it won't be too many at a time.
Thanks again
