Re: corys for starter fish?
Two things will make a cycled go faster- starting with seasoned material (bacteria on it) from an establisged tank, Bio_spira is also supposed to work- but I have never used it.
Corys are poor cycling fish- do not use them for this as they are likely to perish or be permanently injured from it. You will need to add fish very slowly to avoid future cycling spikes. A good rule of thumb is never to add new fish that increase the bio-load by more than 20%. |
