I have about 5 guppies in an uncycled 10 gallon (which i thought i could do at first, but the internet has some pretty shitty info). They haven't been doing very well especially the first couple days. They are a little better now. At first they wouldn't eat at ALL i thought they were going to die pretty quickly, but after about 4 days i changed the water 50 % which your not spose to do during cycling, but the fish need it and they got a little better. they started eating a little bit, but not much. I'm just wondering what i can do for these fish. I can't put them into a different tank. My others are 1 and 2 gallons and now emptied and put away and the aeration/ filtration is now in the 10 gallon. So my question is what can i do for these fish so they perk up and start eating and start acting like normal healthy guppies and not just sit on the surface 24/7. Also, will the tank be able to cycle in these conditions? little eating, and likely lots of ammonia. (i don't have a test kit so i don't know for sure and dont have the money to go out ond buy one). Please help save these fish!

First, do another 50% water change ASAP, then start daily 25% changes tomorrow. As soon as you can, get a test kit and appropriate chemicals (I suggest Ammo-Lock). And keep changing and treating the water until the kit shows the water to be correct.

No, that is wrong. Changing the water does NOT affect the cycle. The bacteria are in the filter, not the water. The internet is full of things like this. pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com

You should be doing at least daily 25% water changes.
