Anyone tried nitrifying bacteria?

If that fish is still alive DO NOT add ammonia to the tank please!
If you have a Petco in your area, you can pick it up immediately and add it to the tank to help. If the fish has passed, then order whatever bacteria in a bottle product you prefer along with Dr Tims Ammonia Cloride to cycle the tank properly.

I didnt add any ammonia. Prime is an ammonia remover

Hi, on my nano tank 20 H I did seachem stability with a raw shrimp , the shrimp for 6 days my ammonia-nitrite-nitrate was high, I continued for 2 weeks + it was cycled in less than 3 weeks..

Just an FYI, prime doesn't remove ammonia, it only neutralizes it for a few days. Ideally, it takes care of it until you either do a water change or bacteria can break it down.
I was really referring to people telling you to add ammonia to your tank to help with the cycle. You definitely do not want to do this if you have a fish in your tank.

Your fish is alive so you did something right!

I use BioSpira to get my QT ready in a matter of hours. Dr Tims bacteria works just as well if not better. Some, like Stability, need a bit more time. If it were my tank I would go out in the morning (or tonight if they are open) and get a small bottle of BioSpira and add it to the tank. Odds are you will never see ammonia in it again.

I see you already found a product. Just wanted to mention another live bacteria that's great. Fritz zyme turbo start 900. It's costly due to shipping, refrigerated overnight. My personal favorite to cycle though. Like all others said still go slow.
Good luck!!
