larryngu 31 Posted March 19, 2013 I bought some Fritz Zymes online and I paid around $ 77 dollars to have the product shipped overnight to me. Did not work. I already bought very beautiful fishes from Rain Garden. They will arrive this coming Friday. I also bought a Aqueon water changer to make doing a fish in cycle much easier. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larryngu 31 Posted March 19, 2013 I did not download the pictures of the fishes before Steve took them down from his website. I already sent Steve an email requesting that ;if he didn't already permenately the pictures, to please send them to me. If I sends me the pictures, I will share them. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LovelyChaos 869 Posted March 19, 2013 I thought you had been cycling a tank? If there is no ammonia in the water, there is no food for them to consume. No food means no cycle. What were your params when trying this? It can be hit or miss with these products. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dnalex 13,633 Posted March 19, 2013 I'm sorry it didn't work, but we did warn you repeatedly that instant cycling is fickle and probably won't work. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahardeay 826 Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) The product didn't work? or did it not show up? If it was product failure, instant cycle type products need there to be ammonia present to feed the beneficial bacteria. *multiple snipes Edited March 19, 2013 by ahardeay 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fantailfan1 26,742 Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Water changes (and your water changer) are going to be your new best friend for the next few months. Fish in cycles are not impossible. You just have to be on top of your water parameters . . . Edited March 19, 2013 by fantailfan1 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tithra 4,917 Posted March 19, 2013 eeek that is a lot of money. Well, daily water changes are a good thing when fish are in QT anyway Just stay on top of testing your water and doing water changes and things will be fine. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
