Hey guys so I'm new to this whole fish thing but my friend has had a tank for about a year now and I wanted to start my own finally after helping my friend take care of his.
I took his old 20 gallon tank, it was only offline for about 1 1/2 weeks. I cycled the tank for 3 weeks and then tried adding fish and they died within a day. My friend said that my fish were pretty young when I added them to the tank but to check my nitrate, nitrite, etc. Ive tested everything but ammonia and I was curious about what ammonia level is acceptable? Also if I should add fish again before I test the ammonia levels?
