I need some help here...no matter what I do I cannot get the ammonia out of my tank. I have one gold fish in a 20 gallon tank. The gold fish is 6 inches long and probably outgrew the tank I just ordered a Aqua Clear 300 filter but in the mean time what am I doing wrong.

I feed the fish every other day and doing weekly water changes. I did a 50% change last week and today the fish was freaking out and tested the ammoni and was very high so I did another 75% change and the fish is in a separate unfiltered bowl for now. I was told that goldfish give off alot of ammonia and don't know what else to do.
 
HI there! Noticed you were from Bayonne - I'm over near Morristown - so I thought I'd say hey. Unfortunately I don't have any advice... I'm a newbie and I have one feeder fish in my 36 gallon tank. I haven't had ammonia problems yet, so I don't think I can be of help.

Just wanted to wave at another Jersian. :D Hope someone else has some good suggestions for you :)
