I have been having the same problem as well. My ammonia level in my tank is really high. I tried the chemicals and found that it was a mistake. Then I tried a water change at about 30% or so. The ammonia level in my tank is still high, and my fish don't seem to be doing that well. I'm starting to get worried because my fish are twitching and seem to be rubbing themselves on things in my tank. I was reading the posts and I really want to do another water change, but I'm scared it might harm my fish because I'll be loosing the good bacteria and I don't want the nitrite spike to kill my fish. I have 2 parrot cichilds that are my pride and joy. I've had them for over 3 years and they're at least 1/2 a foot in size, they have surivied through so much and I would hate to lose them now. My tank is a 55 gallon and I have several other cichlids in there, most of them aren't doing to well either. Should I do a water change again tomorrow, and if so how much? And what about adding another filter? Do you think that might help?
