tropical fish tetra

I put tropical fish in my tank after 2 days – will die?

I'm afraid. I tried to water for chlorine, with a filter, a radiator, and added bacteria supplement (Top End). The next day I added plants and fertilized them. Monday (yesterday) I went to the petstore with a water sample, have tested and it gave me the OK resistant to 6 fish (tetras and Platys.) I said that fish would be good. My fish seems very good, but I am very concerned because I keep reading that is intended to give the aquarium a week of cycling before adding the fish. Does it becomes toxic water? Is there something I can do to ensure that the chemistry is still OK in the tank?

I do not think your fish will die, no, but it is necessary to monitor and see danger signs. Your tank cycle and it will take more than a week to do so. I do not think you'll even be clear of the ammonia cycle within a week. This process will continue for about 4-6 weeks actually a function of many things. The fish you mentioned are hard to use by far for cycling a tank. To be honest, however, is likely to shorten your life a little easier as they will exposed to toxic chemicals for certain periods of time, but I say something, have a better chance to adapt to these conditions before say a neon tetra or an angelfish, and that's what they mean by Hardy. Ammonia levels will rise and this is normal. To avoid excessivly use of high feed fish once a day, and only what they will eat anything in two minutes. The fish you have are small, and an estimate of what they can eat, the stomach is usually the size of their eyes are semi-content depending on the amount of flakes to give them. As their increase in ammonia may or may not see them near the water surface seems to be out of breath. This is an indicator there is high content of ammonia in water and thus arrives. Resist the temptation to change all the water, be aware that this is part of the cycle and the water changes, reduces the amount of ammonia in water to "feed" your good bacteria. If you change the water, try not to over 25% of its water, and remember that this will prolong the period during which your cycling. "Knew that one the hard way "After the fall of the rate of ammonia will increase, if not before, in their levels of nitrites. This is not as lethal as ammonia in the fish, but this is not good for them to be in. nitrite in excess can cause growth retardation, lack of desire eating, and is broadly similar to the experience of what smokers. It blocks the transfer of oxygen in the blood, adhere to hemoglobin and can damage the gill function. Note that these effects are based on long-term exposure to high levels as well. You nitrite oxidizing bacteria is a slightly longer than the ammonia oxidizing bacteria to grow, but you begin to see an increase in nitrate readings in the next few weeks. Nitrates are the final stages of its cycle. It is a compound that is oxidized to nitrite and least damaging of the two mentioned above. There may be some side effects of high exposure to nitrate, but I have not read both. Basically, once your ammonia and nitrite readings are 0 to keep your tank at this point to change the water regularly to keep nitrate levels down. Once created your tank if you start reading levels of nitrates in their headwaters to 40 ppm (parts per million) that you want to get the water change soon. You must be patient with this process, and keep testing every day until you start reading your nitrates. I am sure other may shed light on other subject areas, I have not mentioned too, and we wish him good luck in the world of fish:)
