Once Cycle is complete...

Hey everyone.. well today I got my first sign of Nitrites so im happy that it is at least doing what it is suppost to do However my question is.. I do not think I will be getting all of my fish at once or even as soon as the cycle is complete.. so Before I get any fish at all.. and the ammonia is all gone should I keep feeding the bacteria with pure ammonia until I get some fish..
and If I only add a few fish at first will they not produce enough ammonia to hold up the colony of bacteria?? Thanks

 

Yes, keep adding ammonia until you put fish in there. Afterwards, the number of bacteria might decrease a little to match the output of the 1st batch of fish so when you add more, you might see a mini cycle, but as long as you don't add a whole lot all at once, it shouldn't be too bad.

however I can add as many as my tank will permit the first time correct..

 

Right.
