Awesome, thanks for the input everyone! :)

Hello! I'm currently cycling my 10 gallon tank, but I wanted to ask what you guys think of the fish I'm planning to put in it, since I'm pretty new and not sure if I'm overstocking/creating issues. I was thinking: 1 honey gourami 10 ember tetras Some cherry shrimp, not exactly sure how many...

I have some ammonia on the way now, it'll be here on Friday. Should I completely empty the tank and restart from scratch, or is it better to leave it how it is and just add the drops for more ammonia when the level starts dropping? The water in there is super cloudy and gross too, if that matters.

Okay, I'll look into getting a new heater because mine is cranked all the way up. My house might be cold hahaha. I'm using TopFin 5-in-1 test strips for most things, then an API liquid test kit for ammonia. I'll look into getting some dead shrimp, then! Thank you for the advice!
