I just inherited a tank with cichlids, a gar & an unidentified catfish. I've had fish before but never had problems so I don't know how to handles the following. The water is cloudy (white) and I just got a test kit and here are the measurements. The fish look in bad shape. The gar & catfish have frayed fins. The cichlids fins look ok. I'm reading up to figure out what they should look like.
Temp 79
Ammonia 6.0
Nitrate 160
Nitrite 0
Hardness 300
Alk 0
pH 6
I'm using test strips so the measurements are approximates. What do I do? I have tons of chemicals that came along with the tank but I'm not sure where to begin. Would the one that has beneficial bacteria be the best place to start? I'm sure I need a water change but how much?
