Hey everybody, I just set up my ten gallon freshwater tank today, I have some questions about how to cycle a freshwater tank, and if it's even needed. I've heard of a fish food cycling method so that's what I'm using. I added a small dash of fish food so far today. How often do I add the fish food? Once a day? Once a week?Do I leave the filter on during the cycling? How long does it take to cycle a 10 gallon freshwater tank? Also I used a "Jungle,fish care made easy"/"jungle lab corporation" product that says it's an ammonia, chloramine and chlorine eliminator. With that added can I go without cycling the tank? And last but not least, any suggestions for non-aggressive,attractive or helpful fish for the 10 gallon aquarium? in advance. I only have a saltwater tank that I know a lot about.
