i have a tank of 30 litres with small tetras in, i have done a water change using stress coat and stress zyme this was monday i tested my water using the api testing kit and my ammonia levels are sky high, they have been like this for about 3 weeks, i have put ammni lock in, changed the filter, they are poorly as you can guess, does any one have any advice, i am doing 12 litres+ water change everyday but still cant get the levels down. I no on the back of the amni lock it say that the test will still show positive, but i can see that the fish are still suffering so it must be high, all other tests ie, nitrite,nitrate etc are ok, any help or advice would be great. Thanks.
Hi, i did take some water to the shop, he tested it and told me i am doing everything right, and keep doing it, yes it is a small tank but i only have 2 bleeding hearts and 2 lemon tetres which are all small, feeding on day 4 and light is only on for 3 hours a day. Changing the filter cartridge which is a reme one , was due and needed changing, but nothing before had changed it was still high.
