New fish owner here and yes I was THAT person who listened to my local pet shop "fish expert". Just last Friday(5/31) I bought and established a 10 gallon tank. 3 days (sunday 6/03) later I bought 3 Zebra Danio and a suggested freshwater ammonia test kit. Of course when looking into all this now I realize that was a terrible mistake on my part. Spare me the lecture I know it was careless. But I'm trying and learning now.
My ammonia water results are below
Sunday: .25
Monday: .25
Tuesday: .50 <--- did a 30% water change
Wednesday: 1.0 <----- 50% water change
Thursday: 1.0 <---- again 50%
Today: 2.0
My tank is kept at a 78-80 degree level. I have two live plants in the tank and a filter.
Are these readings normal? And if not what do you suggest I do to correct the current situation. Any opinions are appreciated.
