I have a 10 gallon planted tank with some dragon stone as well as a 20 gallon long planted sand tank with wood and rock caves. I set those up just a couple days ago. I am downsizing tanks and getting rid of my 46 gallon bowfront which still has my kribensis pair that I want to keep. I then have about 15-20 cherry shrimp in a fry net that hangs on the tank. I have hang on back filters with filter sponges on both the 10 and 20 aquariums. I am getting Bacter AE today and will start dosing that to build up biofilm. I have some moss balls that were in another tank in the 10 right now. My main question is: How long until I can put my fish and shrimp in the tanks? Can I cycle a tank with either of them? I want to have the best possible environment for them. But am not sure how long people cycle their tanks. I am anxious to put the fish in but don't want them to die because of an ammonia spike or any other problem. Thanks!
