Right now i just put 5 zebra cichlits i think there called Just keep an eye on your ammonia levels Would do 25% water change daily or every other day Could take a couple weeks to get cycled Get yourself a fresh water testing kit! Test everyday and only on ammonia and nitrite at the beginning. Once you start getting nitrite then start testing for nitrates along with ammonia and nitrites! Record it in a book so you can log your results until you get cycled. I did it this way and it helped me out |
