I've got a question about cycling my new tank. I bought a 20 gallon tank on tuesday (three days ago) and I put the gravel in it from my old tank (5 gal), shook the bio spounge into the new water, then placed the spounge into my new filter. Today, I checked the ammonia and nitrates in my water, and both were zero. The tank currently has three zebra danios in it.
my questions are: If ammonia was going to accumulate in the tank, would I see it this soon? If I should have been seeing amonia by now, can i try taking out the old spounge that is sitting in the filter and see how the tank reacts? Can i try adding new fish now or should I wait?
thanks
