The tank has been cycling for 1 week now. ( with 2 mnysterie snails, 5 plants(look at 'my planted tank' thred) and a flam guarnami)

Half the water is from a established tank and the filter(but i cleaned the filter b4 putting in new tank, also cleaned the gravel.)

So is it ok to put them in now? becuse of thecurrent water state in the bucket???!!

well cleaning those two things are your problem. you obviously havent been doing full daily water changes in your bucket with the axies in, this is why your ammonia is up. change their water and itll be all go again. leave them out of the cycling tank

ok thanks i'll do water changes from the bucket.

Anyone else have any advice???

Stipe, just do daily water changes while they are in their bucket. Don't leave them in dirty water for that long for the levels to reach that. I know it can be sometimes confusing about the whole cycling thing.

just make sure the water is de-clorinated with each water changing. Your tank cycling so far sounds like it is going pretty well

Soon you will be able to put your little buddies in it. Just make sure to keep testing every week.
