Sorry I am just now seeing this reply. I am going to get some tomorrow and begin the process. Thank you so much for your help trying to do all I can to help the little guy out :)

I am reading that Prime is only temporary lasts Luke 24 hours. So my question now would be what can take the ammonia completely out of the tap water for a long term effect?

Thank you just got some Prime and adding to tank now.

Is there any type of conditioners that will help bring down the ammonia in the water before adding to tank? I use a water conditioner but it says it removes chlorine nothing about ammonia.

Thank you for you help. How long should you wait to test the water after a water change? The reason I asked is I did the 50% water change and then tested it 30 mins later and I am getting higher levels of ammonia readings now. I just checked my tap water and it has a 3.0 reading for the ammonia.

Thank you, so the water changes should correct this? Is there any type of medication you would suggest using?

We have been doing like 10 gallons at a time every two days, the first few times the nitrates dropped from 60 to 40 but now they are back up to 60. The ammonia is reading .5 He is in a 55 gallon tank by himself. He is very active just can not stay upright :/ I have a photo just not sure how to...

Can someone please help me??

I have a Red Devil Cichlid that is about 8 years old. The last few weeks he has been staying at the bottom of tank he still eats good and try to swim but keeps falling back on his side. His Nitrate was high and PH low so I have done several water changes and now his readings are: Nitrate 60...
