Hello everyone, so I recently purchased a 60 gallon tank with a fluval 306 canister filter. I bought a fluval live bacteria and used it as it was written on the instructions and added 3 small chiclids on the third day, after a week i added another three, and then another three on the third week. The water levels were perfectly fine up until one fish died. I did not notice he died for possibly a few days and cannot find his body, so I'm assuming he got eaten. After that the Ammonia levels are through the roof, well over 8 ppm. Its been like this for well over a week and I'm wondering what can i do to bring it back down. I am now using API Ammo Lock as well as adding more beneficial bacteria. Ive also gravel vacuumed the whole thing and did two 50% water changes but the ammonia is still so high.
Anyone know what i should do to fix the problem?
Thanks
