I have a 26gal tank with 6 tropical community fishes (4 silver dollar bill and 2 small catfish).
I start with 22 fishes, the fishes start to die and then I found that I have an ammonia level of 8ppm.(than I start to learn better about the nitrogen cycle).
I am using an out side filter + another box filter inside the tank. I put cycle in the water every day.
the ammonia level was 8ppm till the 10 days ago and drop down to 2ppm because the water change I did for 7 days 25% daily.
The nitrate test show 20.
The nitrite test show 0.
What do I need to do next? More water change till the ammonia will drop to 0 ?(will the water change will stop the cycling?)
or just wait , when will the tank will be astablished?
