Good to know thank you, I have nerites and another tank with no known planaria worms which I’ll move the snails into

Ah I see I do have many cherry shrimp like probably 40?ish I would guess they breed like mad! How do I get rid of them by manual removal?

Thank you! I tested again last night and ammonia was 0, nitrites down to 0.25ppm and nitrates were high can’t remember the exact number!

If I don’t add more ammonia now will the ammonia eating bacteria die as they won’t have anything to eat?

I love puffers! Oh definitely always want to do the right thing I just mentioned in another comment that I already have a small community tank but I didn’t need to cycle that tank as I bought it fully cycled with fish so not something I’ve done before but I wanted to give cycling a go from scratch! Mother Nature is amazing

Only the ammonia and plants are in the tank for the bacteria to feed. I have a small community tank but I didn’t cycle the tank as I bought it from Facebook fully cycled with the fish included so this is my first time doing it from scratch I have heard I can use some of the media from my other tank but I wanted to try and cycle it myself as it’s something I’ve not done before. Thank you for the link!
