Would the bacteria die?

[endlessrealm]

My tank finished cycling 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and 16 nitrate. And i was wondering if the bacteria would die waiting for my fish to get delivered next week Wednesday?

Feed a couple of small pinches of food over the next week and half and it will be fine

The tank will be totally fine, the bacteria will just wait till there is a food source again.

Just to add, that’s as long as you are sure it has cycled as 16 nitrates is low for a newly Clyde tank (unless you have done a large water change already to bring your nitrates down to where it’s at now)
