Feed cycle or leave it ?

[Willbiker]

Hi all. My new 650 litre tank is now cycled and with the lock down in place, I ordered 2 clowns and a clean up crew online for delivery however their courier has just stopped delivering livestock as they cannot warrenty overnight deliveries.

My tank has been at 0 ammonia for 1week now. Should I feed it or leave it? It could be days before my fish get delivered or it could be weeks :S

What would you do?

Thanks

If it's cycled, it should process small amounts of ammonia quite quickly. I'd feed it a small amount and do some more testing. But the bacteria that is at work doing the processing can survive for days without you adding more. So don't over do it.

Good luck.
