Modern method of cycling tanks great for Fire Red Cherry Shrimp Neocaridina davidi

I grew up in the pet business. My parents were a distributor for Fritz & we sold Fritz Zyme #7 for freshwater tanks and Fritz Zyme #9 for Marine tanks. If I remember correctly, the Walt Disney Epcot Aquarium marine biologists used this! Many aquarists and even avid hobbyists continue using methods from the 1960s to "cycle" and aquarium, which takes weeks. As you see in this video, this is not necessary, I setup my tank and added shrimp the next day, and they have done well and are already breeding in the time that others would still be cycling an empty tank! I hope this information helps you. As always, it's provided as-is, YMMV!

Excerpt: Unlike some heterotrophic bacteria, which can survive in a long-term spore state, only true nitrifying bacteria can cycle an aquarium. True nitrifying bacteria are fragile and temperature-sensitive, which is difficult to produce and package. FritzZyme® 7 is buffered for long-term stability without the need for refrigeration.
