Cycling, Starting your tank.

[Cyberguppy]

Cycling is the process of growing bacteria in your fishtank to neutralise the fishes waste (ammonia) which will otherwise build up and poison the fish. Most people buy a fishtank, fill it up with new fish and then around a week later, disaster strikes as all the fish start to become ill and die.
