Hey, quick question about the title, obviously. I was cleaning my girl's tank on Monday. I think I over fed her, and she puked up her worm. It flooded her tank with ammonia, which was easy to remove, I had to clean her tank again but I want to know, will that destroy her cycle? Like, it can't crash her tank cycle, can it? She only puked once. She's had 2, 75% water changes since. Her water quality is good, I've been checking it every night. So this happened on Monday, it's Thursday now where I am. Do I need to be this cautious? I fed her today for the first time since throwing up, she's fine. Ate, needed no encouragement to do so. Just a bad day on Monday, I guess.
 
my axie did the same thing 3 months ago and his tanks stayed cycled. and it had no ill side effects on him.
 
Oh good, thank you. She didn't have time to digest the worm much, I think I fed her and she puked within the hour, I cleaned it up as soon as I saw it, so it couldn't have been in the tank for more than an hour. I had to clean her gills, she had stuff in them. Could that have burned her? Like, the stomach acid?

i don't think i could burn her because it would just get carried away in the water. mine was fine.
 
Oh good. She's continuing to do well. Tested her parameters, her filters are doing their job. Every now and then she has a clear, slime-like fluff behind her gills, almost like she was eating sand and it gets caked in her gills. I know it's sand mixed with like, her mucus or whatever. I wonder if that irritated her. I usually do not feed her above her sand but I know it happens if she misses the worm, she just goes to town after it.

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it immensely. Was quite worried for a bit there.
