i've been "fishy-cycling" my 46gal for about a month now. every time ammonia reaches .25ppm i do a 50% water change. i still have yet to read nitrites, and for that matter, nitrates are obviously not apparent either.
what could possibly happen if i add new fish to the mix? from what i've acquired here my parameters are livable. 0 ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. 78 degrees F, and a 7.4 -7.6 pH. my current stock is 4 black skirt tetra, and 3 zebra dannio.
can i at least add a group of corys to repay myself for this gruelling month of almost daily water changes? obviously i'll stay on top of the parameters and water changes... i don't see how this could hinder the cycle process... my current stock is alive and well. also, any idea when this darned tank will be established? i've been positive i would find nitrites in my water tests for a week and a half now, and everytime - nothing.:swear:
appreciate it.
