Hi everyone!
I had a five gallon tank with 3 Halequins in it. The tank broke so when I got a new one I upgraded to a 20 gallon. This was four weeks ago. I brought the gravel, plants, and decorations over. I also kept the filter media in with the new one for 4 weeks. We recently added 3 mollies with them as well. My question is I am constantly stuck at .25 reading for ammonia but there have been no nitrite or nitrate spikes that I have seen and I check every couple you days. I am doing tons of water changes to try and keep it down. All the fish are doing well except for the Mickey Mouse Molly. Today he is very lethargic and hanging at the bottom of the tank. What can I do to get it to cycle and keep down the ammonia? I am afraid he is getting sick from the ammonia
