⚡ CalcWolf Insight
New Tank Syndrome kills more fish than any disease. A brand-new aquarium has no beneficial bacteria to process ammonia. Cycle your tank for 4-6 weeks before adding fish — or use a "fish-in" cycle with hardy species (danios) and daily water testing. Ammonia and nitrite must be at 0 ppm before adding more fish.
