Plants and a Cycling

[Erynn]

Will adding some live plants in the middle of cycling my tank mess up my cycle???

Right now Ammonia is at 4ppm and Nitrite is at .25ppm.

Are you fishless or fishy cycling?

Fishy cycle with 4 zebra danios.

Cycling always goes more smoothly in a planted aquarium, though people sometimes envisage plants as competitors for the nitrogen.
