Hello all, another question or rather concern.
A few days ago one of my Mollies looked sick, was rubbing himself on gravel/decor/plastic plants. I took a water test, 7.6ish PH, 0 Ammonia/Nitrate/Nitrite. I did a partial water change of about 10% (I use AquaSafe with water changes) because I was getting ready to setup a QT incase I needed to add him to it to treat him.
I went out and bought medication to remove parasites/ich, and added the recommended dosage. Also added the recommended Aquarium Salt (Doc Wellfish) dosage. Have slowly raised the temperature up to 84F.
After about five hours, I did a water test. I got 7.8 PH, 0 Nitrite, 0 Nitrate, but got around 4 Ammonia.
Is this a suitable Ammonia spike for a recently medicated aquarium with a recent 10% water change?
If not, what should I do?
Thank you,
-Blake
