3) Do not feed your fish for the first 24 hours. When you do start to feed the fish, give them a tiny amount at a time.

Should I do a water change while my tank is cycling?
While not essential, we recommend water changes during cycling, although opinions differ. Since bacteria live on surfaces, removing water does not disrupt their development. High ammonia can be beneficial for aquarium plants, but algae is also a plant, and indeed, unwanted algae blooms are common during cycling.
How do you fix a bacterial bloom?
Regular partial water changes and good tank maintenance will usually prevent severe bacterial blooms. In new tanks, the bloom will dissipate as the nitrogen cycle becomes established and stabilizes.

Does Prime stop cycle?
I tested my tap water after using Prime® and came up with an ammonia reading. The bond is not reversible and ammonia is still available for your bacteria to consume. Prime® will not halt your cycling process.
