question on feeding
Good morning Kelly,
If the fish are not eating all you are giving them then you need to cut back. The left over feed is causing high levels in your tank. I think you would be better off to feed them two flakes twice a day and not feed them the wafer.
Clean out any uneaten food, which should be none now….
I would add the ammo lock and wait two days, then test the water, if it is still bad, do a partial water change and add more ammo lock…
wait two days test water, if it is still high add more ammo lock, wait 24 hours add the stress relief solution you are using…
I hope that helps some.

well I do have my ten gallon with goldfish and an algae eater in it..
I been looking to rehome my goldfish.. (They get big almost 3 inches
each now)… my ten gallon has two power filters and my 1 gallon did
come with an airstone and air pump.. perhaps I should be using
ammolock, stress zyme and stress coat too… but I did manage to get
a live plant to start growing from an aponogeton bulb.. I would add
my mollies to my ten gallon tank but I read that they can’t be housed
togethor… I never actually used the ammock before so I don’t know
if it is good to add to such a small tank or not…

could add a few more, but the Amm/Nit levels would be better kept
under control too…

out there water once per week (20-25%) I put one cap of aqua plus in
the day I change out the water, the following day I put a cap of the
aqua cycle. If you put them in at the same time, they will nutralize
one another and they wont work.

gradually changing out the old water… because your tank is so new
the levels can change rapidly… I know mine does and I have had my
tank three weeks now… we just have a 5 gal tank with two congo
tetra’s and one black neon tetra, and two algae eaters, we just
purchased them and one will eventually be moved to our larger tank…

a tank with fish? I have my one gallon aquarium with two mollies…
so far my parameters in there are as follows : ammonia : 8.0 ppm
nitrite : 0.25 ppm nitrate : 5.0 ppm any opinions would be greatly
appreciated.. I have had this tank for about 13 days now..
