Based on what I've read so far, Naeso sounds like he can be a bit abrasive. However, from everything I have read, he is very, very right. There is little sense in risking killing fish. When placed in an environment that is still cycling and there is a decent amount of ammonium it stresses out the fish and there is potential for death.
I've heard it before, and it's just hard. I mean, everyone just wants to get some marine friends in their their tank asap. I had mollies before when I had my freshwater tank. I think i'm going to pass on as much as I can, I'll keep my focus on first of all, getting the 30 gallon that I need setup.
I heard someone talking about putting in a dead fish in the tank, like a shrimp or something from the supermarket. I guess that this idea is to raise the ammonium levels to be higher so that it helps the cycle come to fruition. Is this a better way of going about it? Should I buy a dead shrimp from T&T and help the tank cycle?
Should I just leave it alone and let things just do their thing.
