Day 24 on my FishCycling and water test results are:
PH: 7.5
Ammonia: 0-0.05 ( just to make sure)
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0-2.5 (almost bright yellow)

Much better then 2 weeks ago (see my prev threads)

I have 10 Gal FW tank with 1 juvenile GBR (will be moved in a 75 gal in a couple of mos tops) and 1 Panda Cory ... had more of them but had to take them back due to v.high ammonia; tried to take them all back to do fishless cycling but lfs didn't want them, said might be sick :-( ... never buy there again, they advised me my tank was ready after one week fishless and sold me 6 fish when took water for testing. I learned my lesson, I have my own API FW kit and got where I needed to be after lots of testings and PWC.
Anyways, I was wondering if I am ready for a few more fish or I should keep testing it another week or so?
Plan is to get 1 or 2 more Pandas and 1 more GBR (heard they like to be in pairs, and again, will move them in 75 gal tank in a couple mos max).
Pls advise.
 
Your tank can't be considered cycled until you have 0 ammonia. You're probably just about there, but I'd wait to purchase more fish.

Will do another PWC and see after. Ty
