I started a new tank for my 3yr ol daughter..who is fascinated by fishies..she had 5 guppy fish and in 3days now has 2 no it has not cycled, yes I used the start up chems and have tested the water...ammonia is between.5-1.0more the .5 side, NO3 IS 0, NO2 is 0, hardness is25, chlorine .5, alkalinity is 80, ph is 6.8....what am I doing wrong? They die the same way..they stay at bottom..then can't seem to right themselves wen swimming then dead on their sides...one by one they do this...no red gills, no shimmies, an no notice of gasping...I know it might b due to tank not cycled but chem levels seem ok...please help..feel horrible bout poor fish an my daughter counting less an less of her "babies"
