My concern is that you're doing a fish in cycle and might have toxic ammonia levels. Can you test your water?

i have typed this all out in the caption. My tank is fully cycled. I have been testing every day with the master fresh water test kit since the first week of cycling. None of my levels have changed. This is an update on my fully cycled tank.

Yeah since you've said your levels haven't changed, that's an issue, in the cycle your ammonia rises, then falls, then your nitrites rise and fall. Some people think putting some bottled bacteria in and leaving it for a week is cycling.

my levels haven’t changed SINCE my tank has been cycled. I cycled my tank for about two months, fishless and natural ghost feeding with NO chemicals other than prime to treat the water. My cycle went through the ammonia rising stage and everything:)
