ok i need help
i cycle my water and did the tests and everything was fine....i added 4 gold fish into my 10 gallon tank and today was my first test of the water ( 3 days after finishing cycle) and my ammonia levels spiked from 0.0 to 5.0 ppm. did nitrite and nitate test and it came out to 0.0 iam just wondering what to do with the ammonia spike.... i also replaced about 15% of the water to keep it clean but i dont think that would have anything to do with the huge spike... please help.
