Aquarium Advice Regular
Hello,
It has been a long time since i posted to this forum. I recently setup a 10 gallon quarantine tank to house some 3 new rainbows I bought. I however think I may have messed up. I used water from the display tank to fill the tank for the quarantine but I did not realize that I needed to cycle the quarantine tank and now fear that I may have fataly injured my new rainbows. They are not eating and they have been in the tank for 2 days now. I Saw that my ammonia was creeping between the .25 and 1.5 mg/l. (Tested with tetra laborett test kit) I freaked when i saw this and did a 25% water change. The ammonia was then tested 24 hours later and still at the same level. So I treated with API Ammo lock per instructions. Now the ammonia test is through the roof. I am very concerned with the health of my new fish and am wondering if I should bite the bullet and put them in the display or ride this out.
Please help. Sorry for the randomness of the post.
