I believe I posted back in mid January that my ammonia went down and my nitrite went up (I'm doing a fish in cycle, and i have 1 cray fish CPO in a 5 gallon tank)

I am still getting nitrite readings. I'm still changing the water everyday 😭 I know this is part of cycling and fish in cycling takes longer, but anyone know roughly how much longer this is going to take? My son is helping with the water changes, I'm just pretty tired when I get home from work 😴

Thanks!!

Unfortunately, there is no definitive timeline. It takes as long as it takes when doing " fish in" cycling. The ammonia going down and the nitrites going up is all part of the process.
