Can i put 2 clowns in these parameters ?????

Can i put 2 clowns in these parameters as a biological start ?????
NH3 = 0
NO2 = 1-2 mg/l
NO3 = 10 mg/l
PH = 8.3
Temp = 27'

or wait till NO2 = 0
my livebacteria product didn't make any change i used it since the first day and now it 26 days ....

 

Wait! ALWAYS WAIT! Then WAIT a little longer. But def wait till NO2 hits zero, then add some fish food and see if anything spikes over the next day or so. Then add. Ideally, you'd add a small cuc first and then wait a week or so.

 

imo u can add them if u r in hurry but consider to add some commercial bacteria like microbecter 7 it will accelerate cycling processes..

 

You can, but the real question is if you should.

Really though, how long has the cycle been going? I ask this because I had nitrates for a long time but it was still another week or two before my cycle finished. Also, you have to take in to consideration that it would/could harm the fish, stress them out, and possibly lead to death which is why generally most would tell you no. Aside from that I would wait if you can but sometimes those ideal situations just aren't possible.

For instance, a lady offered me her oscars(fresh water I know... but it's an example) she ripped the whole tank down and cleaned it... and the gravel... and thew away all of the filter media and brought me new filters and media... I really wish she hadn't done all of that because over the next 2-3 months I was doing huge water changes to keep the fish from dying due to ammonia poisoning and nitrite issues. Literally having to do changes of 25+ gallons every couple days... and that means siphon 25 out and put 25 back in... 5 gallons at a time... it got old but I did it for the fish and they pulled through.

 

Well said vawdka!

I would not do it. Nothing good happens "in a hurry" in this hobby.

Nitrite at that level can be lethal to your fish. Just wait another week or so at least. I know its hard, but its better than killing $40-50 in fish. IMO

 

my tank is cycling 26 days agoo ....

 

4 weeks in, 2-3 to go Patience grasshopper, patience.

 

+1

Because it takes LONG to cycle a tank
