    that's a tuff call and you'll get different answers. I do not recommend it as it will not rid you of ammonia. Just leave it and let the bacteria colony grow to match the ammonia you have, not the ammonia you have after a WC...

    keep an eye on that fish... I'm not sure they handle ammonia very well... might even want to consider returning temporarily. Though, truth be told, I feel a 29 is too small for that fish...

    Nope, just keep an eye on the ammonia. If it goes over something like 0.5, then I would change it, but not before then.
