Probably one of the better explanation I have heard on the fish in cycling.

[emmerencia]

Thank you for this video with easy and understandable instructions. I think the majority of us would not purposely try to harm our fish and like you said sometimes we are misinformed and mistakes happen. It's great to have a video that doesn't judge but actually tells you how you can make things right. I really found this video very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to educate people like me!

I have been keeping fish off and on for 60 years. Back when I was a kid, there was no talk about Nitrogen cycle in books, or in fish circles. In those days we dechlorinated, watched the pH, temperature and added only a few fish at a time. It worked. Rarely lost fish. Michael is telling it like it is. Watch your fish, do things slowly and Prime can't hurt.

Yup every time I see somebody post I’m doing a fish in cycle on a fish Facebook group I sit back and grab the popcorn cause I know it’s about to go down!!

[tomsmith]

Information worth it’s weight in gold here for the beginner, this is the third time I’ve watched it in order to properly absorb the info .Many thanks from across the pond 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Wow! The best way anyone ever explained the fish in cycle! Finally as one of the dumb person here not doing a research 1st about fish in cycle, I did followed his advice n it was successful! All my fish survived and I am so proud of myself! Thank you!!!

Been in hobby for years, watched 1000+ videos, but this is the best I've seen. Trust Michael as you trust Joe, Cory or Rachel.

5:10 "or they're dead. You know there's a problem."

Shit funny af when you think about a tank with only one fish in it.

[noeliauribe]

I love how real you are. Yes unfortunately sometimes we’re misinformed and didn’t do the right thing, and sadly any people attack you for not doing research or cycling your tank. But what’s important is that many of us are trying to fix our mistakes and provide a safe environment for our pets

What a fabulous explanation for beginners!! Sharing this with my friend to use with her classroom aquarium next fall. GREAT job! Thanks for taking the time to do this!

Love the vids Michael. I have watched for more than a year now and I started with 3 fish and now have almost 100. You have been my inspiration thank you for being there for the help.

[johnwerner]

I have been keeping fish for 2 years. I just started a new 45 gal. tank. Couldn't wait. I really appreciate you reminding me about getting the filter out of my cycled tank! I think this is going to be the leg up I needed. I got fancy calico goldfish for the tank and love them! Crossed fingers and thanks!!!

[destinomataliga]

Only video that explains exactly what to do for a fish in cycle, thank you. Liked and subscribed ✅

[ethng]

Your video is my savior. What you said was exactly how I bought my axolotl. I've started to detoxify the tank water with Seachem Prime, been checking the parameters everyday. I'm a little nervous but hopefuilly my axolotl will be fine.

[Desperado]

When I bring tap water to the fish store they say it is fine ...
Thanks for the laugh

[xmissxvictoriax]

Do you continue to do water changes during this??

Hi Michael! I recently stumbled on a few of your videos and now recognize yours from others. I think youre videos are fantastic and full of good info. I also love how you explain things. Not only clear and informative, but also citing real life common scenarios or circumstances. Great work! My only suggestion would be to move the camera back a smidge. You always seem very zoomed in. Second and i know its more work and we love seeing you always, :) but maybe edit in some footage of examples of things youre talking about as youre talking about them and then kind of narrating what we are seeing. A lot of channels do this and talk over footage but not "about" that footage. And the way you explain things would fit perfect with it and be amazing!

[ISawSomethingOnTheInternet]

This worked for me and was the best info online about the topic. Well done. This video helps save fish lives, including my own! Very nice and thanks for sharing!!

I did an instant cycle today as i upgraded to 120L tank, i stuck to your instant cycle video and all is good so far. Will update if anything changes. Stay safe :)

[chrystalsellars]

I so appreciate this video!! Reading on google is not the same as hearing someone explain it. Nts here and have been looking for a dumbed down version to really understand what I have to do. Again thank you!!
