    Dr. Tim's One and Only, make sure to get the ammonia as well. I think it's free, just make sure to add it to the shopping cart.

    Dr. Tim's One and Only and Brightwell's Microbacter7 are 2 of the most popular.

    I used bio-spira on my betta 10 gallon tank, it worked good. I added the fish and like 2 hours later added the bio-spira.

    I'd say dr Tim's or mb7 both are great products.
    IMO Dr Tim's for cycles and mb 7 for added bacteria over time if that makes since.
