I started my aquarium on 5/20. I put in 3 red wag platys. I havent fed my fish yet because I still waiting for the tank to cycle. Latest reading were ammonia-.25, nitite-0, ph-8. I was wondering if I should feed my fish its been 5 days now?
Yes, you should be feeding your fishies. The fish food will actually aid in the cycling process. Being that this is a fishy cycle, you will need to stay on top of the water parms and water changes.
That makes sense but everything I've read said if/when I test for ammonia if I get a reading other than 0 I should do partial water changes, which I have been doing I then get a 0 reading for about a day then its back up to .25.
