Prime is one of the top ones. I've always used api's conditioner since it is so readily available in my area. Prime does not remove ammonia, it converts it into a non toxic form that will not show on a test. If you're having ammonia issues then the focus needs to be directed to your filtration.
Is That non toxic form can harm my fishes? No I haven't an ammonia issue yet.just asking as I want to buy a good conditioner.I have some more questions.how often u used prime?only after a water change? Can I add prime to the water when my fishes r present or I need to take them out and then add it?

Prime is the best IMO but you shouldn't be looking for a ammonia remover. If you have to much ammo do a water change.

Prime costs more but I bet you it goes way farther than any other product. 1 ML does like 10 gallons of water.

I've used a couple different conditioners but have found Prime to be the best so far. I will swear by Prime until something proves me wrong

PRIME. Hands down. There is nothing else on the market to even compare it to!

Completely safe for them. I however don't recommend pouring a lot in directly on top of fish as they will be curious in nature to examine what's coming into their water.
Yup that's why I worry for them.Anything that added to water firstly they came to the surface and try to taste it. This is the probs with adding. Bt if it's safe enough then fine.I'm thinking of taking some water out in a bucket and then add prime to it as my tank volume require.then after stirring it I put the water back to my tank? Is this work?

There are a few other comparable products to Prime, but it's one of the most readily available. They don't have the market cornered by any means, but it can be found easily at many LFS and is fairly priced.
A good alternative, although less concentrated, is amquel+. Some places will carry seachem or kordon's but not both.

Prime converts ammonia to a non-toxic form (ammonium) but some test kits will still detect this ammonium as ammonia until the beneficial bacteria processes it.
