Yes it is Fish Cycle, sorry. Have 4 Giant Danios and a Red SHoulder Severum. ALl seem good the Severum is about quarter size and has all his stripes. They are eating well, espeiclly the dnios, man the fly towards the food.

you should not cycle your tank with five fishes though. I think you have many fishes in your tank.

I did do a water change this afternoon. Ammonia looked to be on the card around .50. Sev is showing great color, is just a lil shy. has found a great hiding place under the huge piece of driftwood i got. lil sucker is hard to see under there. Sev costs me 9.99 at my LFS!!!!!!!!! I will keep the ammonia down no matter what it takes. i am committed to do this right. Will test again tonight to see what changes the water change made, and if need be will do another one in the morning before work.
