Hi

I've had my tank set up for about 7 weeks, i done a fishless cycle for about 4 weeks untill nitrites amminia etc was 0. I've recently lost quite a few fish and I am getting slight ammonia readings each day and I'm practically having to do water changes every day to keep it down. I have 180l tank with 5 danios, 4 guppies and 2 corys. I feed once per day. ANy ideas why this is happening and what I can do. I'm thinking of changing filters as I have a powerhead filter.

On another note 2 of the fish that died have completely disappeared, I cannot find them anywhere, I;ve removed the ornaments and searched everywhere, is it possible they could have been eaten?

Chances are those missing fish are what's causing the ammonia. Look inside your filter, inside the ornaments, etc. They gotta be there somewhere.
