HOW TO #CYCLE YOUR AQUARIUM WITH FISH

Your #NATURALAQUARIUM cannot #cycle until fish are in it. Put a few small fish in your tank as soon as it is set up. BUT only feed the fish with VERY tiny amounts. #FATHERFISH explains how to #cycle your tank right away.

Our #FFRESEARCHTEAM is hard at work studying the science of the #FATHERFISH method. You may participate in this great endeavor to free the hobbyist from slavery to equipment, supplies, medications, and other expensive paraphernalia.

my grandad passed before I was 7, and I always remember his fish - and I grew up wishing he had taught me how to look after them, but after watching your videos for a few days, I feel like I have the right knowledge to honor my grandad and honor the care of fish and their home ❤😊❤

I love how different your insights are to a lot of other channels, you take the fear out of fish keeping Cheers

[donnagriffiths]

I have been so freaked out about cycling my new tanks because I’ve heard how it takes a long time to cycle a tank. I’m so thankful I found this site. What a difference you’ve made ! Thank you !

[brianshripka]

I’ve been setting up tanks since my mom bought our first one when I was 8. We always set up the tank and add some fish the next day. Never had any issues. 40 years old now and still doing it the same way!

Papa fish, i just wanted to say, you have completely relaxed my stress over my first tank, ive been wanting to do my first tank right and youve made all the complexities of doing so feel so simple. Thank you so much

[Neon_Scute]

Finally someone else on the same page when it comes to feeding, this video has been very reassuring even with being in the hobby for over 10 years other fish keepers will try to make to feel bad if you don't follow the norm. Everyone please listen to father fish, he's got it right. Keep up the good work!

I have nearly 70 years of fish keeping. Entire rooms filled with fish to breed and sell. Over all those years I have never intentionally cycled any freshwater tank. The main issue with fish is ph. As long as it's in the proper range for the variety and you have good filtration on the tank the fish should be fine. If there appears to be an ammonia issue a good partial water change will often take care of it. If you have other tanks or a friend does and you want to make it easy then put a new sponge filter in the old tank and run it for a week or so and then transfer it to the new tank. Even some gravel from an old tank is enough to seed the new tank. That said most fish if properly cared for will cycle a new tank without issues or work on your part.

[Someoneonthisplanet]

great advice! just remember that this approach only works on a heavily planted, dirted tank with an inch of dirt and 2 inches of sand. any other set-ups, require cycling of your filter, and water changes to keep nitrates down.

[soumyabanerjee]

Sir, you are simply incredible. You make the whole process seem so easy and simple. My heartfelt regards.

I put dead leaves in my tank (Indian Almond) less than a week ago and I'm noticing a lot of difference. PH is stabilizing, snails and shrimp are happy chowing down as they disentigrate.

[DashDrones]

This is the best guidance to setup a tank. Took me a year to realise. Thank you
