you have never cycled your tank or the cycle has been broken if ammonia is high,
nitrites and nitrates are zero. poor quality food is mostly fillers which are in and
out of the fish and then foul the water. how many fish, how big is the tank, what
kind of filter?

Hmmm. I've only done 1 water change, since I thought you were supposed to do
it once a month. I guess I should do it weekly, because I keep adding
chemicals to bring the ammonia down. According to my test strips, the
nitrates/trites are fine, but the ammonia keeps getting high.

And they do have a bit of poop! I'm probably feeding them too much. They are
healthy and active - and darned friendly and cute.

I've cut down a little bit on the food. I'll do some shopping and compare
food.

I guess another water change is in order...

Thank you.
