new to bio spira and i added it wrong. i put into my 29gal and i just dumped it in there instead of adding it to my biological filter! will it still work? or do i have to go get some more? will temperature affect the bacteria growth?
 
Yes, it'll be fine :).
 
stock

can i add more fish now then. i currently have 2 male fancy guppies in my 29 gal. with bio spira
 
Bio-Spira in my experience takes from 48 hours to a week before your tank is completely cycled. So I would probably wait a week and then add more fish. Or if you are testing just test every day until your readings look good.

don't mean to hijack your thread but I did a web search on biospira and couldn't find it to buy. where do you get it?

Yes, it will be fine. The bacteria will gorw on anything it can stick too. The hotter them temp (up to about 85-90F I think) the faster the bacteria will grow. When you first add the Bio Spira you should be adding a full fish load. If you dont, you will need to slowy stock every week.
