It has been several years since I cycled a tank. It's a 30 gallon tank with about 15 gallons on water I have sand over organic potting soil substrate with a large piece of drift wood and about 2 dozen elodea plants.

I put half of a U-12 shrimp in about 10 days ago. I tested true ammonia level today. It is 8.0 ppm. My question is, should I remove the shrimp now, or leave it in until the cycle is complete?

Thanks for your help.

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
