Aquarium Advice FINatic
Just did a 40% water change and noticed some of my fish (guppies and mollies) gasping at the top after.
I tested my tank and tap water. .25 in my tank and 1ppm in my tap!
I've read up on it - everyone says in a cycled tank don't worry about it as the BB will take care of it in a day or two, just use Prime to neutralize the ammonia until then. Well the problem is I did use Prime already! I just added another 6ml to my 60g and another dose to my 10g (no fish showing any signs of distress in the 10g).
So....if I already used prime why am I getting a .25 ammonia read? And why are my fish distressed?
What can I do?
Please help as soon as possible! Thanks
