I’m at a loss. I just don’t know what to do. The ammonia in my tank WILL NOT GO AWAY! I do weekly 50% water changes and I dose the tank with Prime BEFORE the new water goes into my tank. I have a sponge filter in my tank being powered by a power head and a Fluval C4 with the sponge/poly pad that comes with it in the filter, Purigen, and Matrix in it.
The tank’s been setup for 2 years. I have 4 cardinal tetras, lemon tetras, 4 otos (I had 5, but I can’t find the 5th one so I think he died and the other fish ate him), and a horseface loach. I’ve had the fish for about a year. I plan on adding 3 more cardinals and either 5 green fire tetras or 5 harlequin rasboras. I just tested my water-using the Seachem ammonia and nitrites/nitrates test kits-and free ammonia is between .01 and .02, total ammonia is between .05 and 0.1, nitrites are 0 and nitrates are between 2 and 7.5.
