Day 15 of cycle - with pictures

[reelbigphish]

I'm on day 15 of cycling with six Zebra Danios. It's a 120 gallon tank kept at 79 degrees. I have been testing every other day with the API master test. I still have no ammonia. I feed once a day - per the instructions on the fish food, just what they can eat in two minutes. I haven't done any cleaning or water changes. I do top off the tank every couple of days to replace what has evaporated.

The fish seem happy. Always glad to eat. I read their coloring will be better in a healthy tank, so I attached some pictures. I think their coloring is great. They were hard to get pictures of - not lethargic at all.

I guess I just need patience. It's a big tank.

How did you do that? You msut be very good to get pictures of a zebra danio in a 120 gallon. Some of the best shots I've seen are where people have temporarily moved the fish to a small photo tank. NICE ONE!

Tolley, I do have a background in photography and a good camera. But I'm very new at fish. I sat in front of the tank while my son fed the fish. They always scavenge the bottom for a while after we feed them, so I took advantage of their relatively still time.

Taking pictures of fish is like taking pictures of babies. You have to take 20 pics to get one good one.

Those are very nice pictures!
