My 1st Water Test

[KeeperOfFish]

So I tested my water today with an API Master Freshwater Test Kit and this is what I got...
Ammo: 0.25
Nitrite: 5.0
Nitrate: 5.0
pH: 7.6

These levels don't seem good:/
I started to test again but then I had to leave...unwillingly
Also my moms updates on my fish were apparently wrong because my red/gold tuxedo guppy and my tequila sunrise guppy are missing so I'm really upset right now but as soon as I get home I'm doing a water change so advice and help would be great thanks...

Oh man, massive water changes ASAP. I'm driving down the road and can't elaborate but someone else will chime in in a minute.

Look for a sticky in the getting started section called "I just learned about cycling".

Get your levels down to .25 ASAP.

Now, back to driving

Thanks for all your help

Yep, I couldn't live without my water changer.

You're going to get plenty of practice with it because you have a lot of water changing to do now and in the future. Make sure you follow the guide and keep the ammonia and nitrItes below .25 at all times. You shouldn't be too awful far away from being cycled.

Also get yourself a bottle of Seachem Prime. It's a great water conditioner and will help neutralize ammo and no2 to buy your fish some time between water changes. I would use it at 2-3x the normal dose.
