I recommend Danios, you can find them anywhere. They also come in different colors, so you can spice up your aquarium early!
what does cycling mean
An established aquarium is an aquarium that has gone through the nitrogen cycle. This is not "established" it is a "cycled" aquarium. The stage after cycling where the plants are reproducing and fish are growing successfully is an "established" aquarium. See related question on the nitrogen cycle.
You can do a water change while it is cycling, but that might slow down the process.
Yes, by jogging, cycling or hitching! Airfare is about $160 each way
When I am cycling a tank, fresh or salt, I do not change the water. I maintain the water level (and the salinity), but I never change it. The goal is to let the bacteria build up and eat the bad stuff, so physically removing the bad stuff will only delay the cycling process.
If you are looking for cycling apparel, Dick's Sporting goods is the place to go. They are always running great sales, and also have a fantastic selection.
If you experience a nitrite spike during the cycling process of your aquarium, you should perform a partial water change to reduce the nitrite levels. Additionally, you can add beneficial bacteria supplements to help speed up the conversion of nitrites into nitrates. Monitoring water parameters regularly and avoiding overfeeding can also help prevent future nitrite spikes.
You trasfer the shark and the glowfish to an established aquarium, and wait for the danios to help cycle the new tank until it's balanced, then you can put the others back in. If you're lucky, they may be able to withstand the cycling of the tank, but it will most likely shorten their lifespan.
No he did not. In fact aeronautics, word processing and cycling did not exist in his day so he couldn't possibly have studied them. (Knitting DID exist; that's where their stockings came from)
Possibly the pressure cycling switch.
The sealed aquarium contained a unique ecosystem, showcasing a variety of aquatic plants and small fish, along with a carefully balanced environment that mimicked natural conditions. It served as a self-sustaining habitat, with the plants producing oxygen and the fish contributing to nutrient cycling. Additionally, it may have included interesting elements like shrimp or snails to help maintain the ecosystem's health. The aquarium was a testament to the beauty and complexity of aquatic life.
Yes, as long as you use a de-chlorinator, this can safely be done. Make sure the de-chlorinator destroys both chlorine and chloramines- many only remove one of the two. If you can find a de-chlorinator that also destroys ammonia, than that is an added bonus as it will come in handy when dealing with ammonia spikes when cycling an aquarium.
