Tank has finally cycled

[goldenbarb]

Finally, my 10g tank has cycled. I started the tank in mid May. I interrupted the first cycle by beginner mistakes: adding more fish too soon, overfeeding, excessive vacuuming of gravel, etc. So now I can finally add a couple more small fish. I'm happy. There is something to be said for patience, patience, patience and water changes.

Cycling is a true test of patience of man. Also a huge pain in the rear but really necessary with the small tanks.

Congrats! You can start stocking maybe 4 fish every two weeks. Whatcha gonna put in your tank?

Congratulations! Yep, it's a patience builder, but a good safe one! We can't wait to see pictures of your tank and your fish! Enjoy!

I cycled with fish and they survived the ordeal. I want to add a couple more neon tetras so they can keep the others company. I also have 3 gold barbs. I'm thankful for all the great information on the forum.
