Nitrogen cycle

[scurry64]

It has been several years since I cycled a tank. It's a 30 gallon tank with about 15 gallons on water I have sand over organic potting soil substrate with a large piece of drift wood and about 2 dozen elodea plants.

I put half of a U-12 shrimp in about 10 days ago. I tested true ammonia level today. It is 8.0 ppm. My question is, should I remove the shrimp now, or leave it in until the cycle is complete?

Thanks for your help.
