Thanks everyone, for all the help. I think I have my situation figured out
now. I am going to buy a foam insert definitely but I'm not overly worried
about it any more. Quick update on my tank, I came home from work yesterday
(where this forum has been seriously impacting my productivity by the
way...) and found one of my goldfish floating. I suppose in the long run
it's a good thing, now there is just the fantail and one plain goldfish left
so that might be an easier load for the new environment to handle. I
changed about 25% water again last night and my ammonnia level is down
again. I'll test again on Friday or Saturday and I'm hoping it will start
going down on its own and if so I'll cross my fingers for a nitrite reading.
Wouldn't hurt to check your nitrites now, unless you are almost out of
drops or dipsticks. Nitrites rising while ammonia falls, it's a
beautiful dance.
