Hello guys, this is my first post on here!
I've had my 126 litre tank set up for around 6 weeks now and it just will not begin the cycling process.
I was sold some bactinettes by the guy in the shop and told that I'd be able to add fish straight away. So i had 6 glowlight tetra and a green speckled eel and a week later we added 2 angels and 2 dwarf frogs.
Since then I've bought a test kit and the ammonia and nitrate and nitrite levels are still very high.
I've been doing 10-20% water changes daily (with dechlorinated water). have added now a third dose of bactinettes and done a 50% water change. still the levels are high and I'm worried soon we'll be losing fish.
I'm only feeding a few flakes and tiny bit of bloodworm for the eel and frogs.
Is there anything i can do to get the tank cycling and what should i be doing to protect the fish
thanks in advance!
