The ammonia in my 55 gallon tank won't go down lately. It has been established for a month now, all the fish seem to be fine except for one neon tetra who won't school and is inactive. The ammonia in my tank was 4 ppm 2 days ago and I did a 60% water change and it went down to 2 ppm. I added stress zhyme, sludge destroyer, and ammo-lock. the next day i did a 30% water change and the ammonia was still at 2 ppm. I started underfeeding a lot and it still won't go down. Changes that i made lately was me switching from API carbon to tetra carbon since it was cheaper. I rinsed it to get the carbon dust out and it made the water cloudy in the tank. The cloudiness cleared up in 2 days. I also added in 2 juvenile Angelfish 3 days ago that are about the size of a dollar coin. Could this have caused a mini-cycle? Please help, I am worried about my fish.
Water parameters - 2ppm ammonia, 0 ppm nitrite, 5 ppm nitrate
Ph - 6.8
Tank is semi planted with driftwood.
