AMMONIA In Aquarium - HOW TO FIX IT FAST !? NEW Fish tank

Here are some helpful tips to make you get rid of ammonia in your new fish tank.

Good advice! I wish when I bought my 1st tank 25 years ago I wish I could have seen this video. Way before you tube. I bought a 55 gallon tank and 55 fish. You know the 1 per gallon crap we used to believe. Nobody at Petsmart explained the cycle to me. I set the tank up that night and the next morning I added the fish. Needless to say it didn’t go well. It was total carnage! Crazy thing is the 1st fish I bought was a moonlight Gourami. He grew to 6 inches and ended up surviving and living over 10 years! Tough fish to survive my stupidity!

5:46 Safe can treat more gallons, but Prime can detoxify heavy Metals and trigger a healthy slime coat. So if you have heavy water prime is slightly better. Great video!

I am following your advice down to every detail. Immediately after the first water change and addition of chemicals I saw my fish become much more calm and at ease. Hopefully all will be well in a few days thank you!

I’ve been battling ammonia and nitrites for 5 months now. I have a betta which was my first then later added a mystery snail because I was getting algae growth, in hope’s my mystery snail would eat but not much. Then I added 3 red Corys and a nerite snail in the 10 gl and still high ammonia.
My betta got pop eye, swollen mouth and a bump on its head. I started to cycle another tank and put them all in it because levels were low and after a week ammonia and nitrites were up, in the mean time my older tank was still cycling and levels were 0 I put them back only to have a ammonia spike again. So I’m on my third day of changing 10% water changes. I believe my problem is I’m still feeding them too much. My mystery snail has to eat. So today is the first day of no feeding. I’ve been using treated water, plus stability, seed and ammonia block. I do have a few plants but I lost all plants. It’s been a nightmare and very costly as I took my fish to the emergency vet. I’m going to separate the betta and place him in his own tank once it’s cycled. They all seem healthy including my betta after a couple of weeks of methylene blue treatments 2x a day for 20 minutes, all due to poor water quality. I’m new to this and I couldn’t imagine having a bigger tank. I’m ready to hang up the towel. But after listening to your video I will take those tips and apply them. Thank you. By the way my nitrates are at 20 ppm, and doing frequent water changes my tank mates seem ok.

I have 3 goldfish in a 3.5 gallon fish tank. I'm completely new to having fish and the person at the pet store told me nothing about how to care for them and I'm at a loss of what to do. I bought Aqua Safe, and quick start and put those in before adding the fish to the tank. I bought the tank and added them the same day. Mmm

First time watching one of your videos. Excellent information, straight forward right to the point. Keep up the good work. Going to use your recommendations to try and solve my recurring ammonia problem. I also have water that keeps dropping in ph for unknown reasons. Any ideas I have a 10 gallon freshwater tank with three small angel fish and four small zebra fish? I do frequent water changes, do not overfeed and change the filter when needed.

I set a new tank and I added fish to it before the cycle is done. I also added a "equasafe" product.
After 2 days the water got cloudy.
If I add useful bacteria, will it help?
Thank you.

Thank you for the information, I just got a 10 gallon planted tank for my betta. I have two others and I never cycled them I just put "stress coat" in the water let the tank cycle for only a day and put the fish in no problems. (I did not know the proper process then) With this tank I put "stress coat" in every gallon of water I put in the tank. I then put prime and stability into the tank. First day perfect no problems second the same but the third I woke up and he's left fin only was clamped on his body and had a little a bit of red in it almost like he popped a blood vessel. he's been a little lethargic just sitting around. I checked the ammonia levels and it was between a 1 and a 2. Any ideas why this happened to this tank but not my other tanks. (sorry for the long message)
