All my fish are sick!!!

In cycling, ammonia will go down once the bacteria converts it to nitrites which you should see spiking up. Then in a few days, nitrites should go down and you should be able to detect nitrates.:D

My nitrites have gone up the past couple days and are extremely high! It's been cycling for about 2 weeks now and i never detected ANY ammonia! My ph is also super high. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong???

Hi Sarah,
Have you detected any nitrates?
Pls do more water changes to dilute the nitrites if you have fish in the tank.

If you are doing fishless cycling, leave it until you detect nitrates.

I was doing the cycling with 3 tigar barbs and my blue bwarf guarami...everyone survived and the tank is normal!!!!! My fish are fine and my new plants are rapidly growing so i don't need to update anymore i guess...anyways thanks for all the help y'all!

That's amazing, Sarah.
Glad your problems with cycling are now over.:D

Relax and enjoy your fishkeeping.
