I know it's best to cycle fishless but that could potentially take 6 weeks and I'm slightly impatient.
I was just wondering if this is a viable way to speed up the process.
I have a 20g aquarium set up with hides & plants (some new, some from my beta's established tank). I've been currently running a HOB filter and placing a small amount of frozen brine shrimp in the tank each night for a week.
So far, it hasn't cycled much, or at all, really.
I was wondering if I could move my betta into the 20g tank to speed the process up. I don't want to cause any harm to him though, so I was thinking of using some TSS just to make it the safest possible for him.
My question is, would the remnants of this TSS in the water cause any harm to my new axolotl in a week or 2, assuming this is an option?
If not, what are other ways to speed the process up?
(I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the method of placing drops of pure ammonia in.)
