30g tank cycle?

[FalseBandit15]

What would be a general cycle time with 4 gold barbs and 6 serpea tetra's in a 30g tank. The levels in the tank are unchanged for the last 3 or 4 times i have tested them. It almost seems like the tank has not done much since i started the tank 6 weeks ago. I am anxious to add more fish but weiry that they might die because the tank is not done cycling yet, all levels are unchanged since the beginning. Any and All help would be greatly appreciated!

about 2 months doing a cycle with fish...

but there really isn't a set time as to how long it would take with a certain type of fish, etc... there's no definite way of knowing.

Minimum 2 months.

Just keep testing for Nitrates.
I know it sucks (we all do) but you're best off waiting till it's done before adding more fish.

Yep. Mine took 9 weeks almost to the day. I cycled with 8 danios. Its a long, long wait but come to this website often and they will give you all the support you need. I just added more fish two days ago and they are very happy as I am finally. It took forever to get nitrites but when i did it was fast and within a few days i had nitrates. I also added cycle and stress zyme almost at the end and don't know if that helped it out or not. Just keep testing the water and keep everything running smooth.
