MICRO-TANKER Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Hello Everyone, I am reaching out for help! I have a 15 gallon fluval flex with a couple of Kuhli Loaches, 5 Pea Puffers & 6 Tiny Neon Tetras. It is heavily planted with all of the plants doing very well. Everything is green! All my Levels, PH, Nitrate & Nitrite are all perfect. However my Ammonia will NOT go down. I noticed a spike at .5 ppm the other day. So i have been doing 50% water changes. For a day it goes down to nothing then the next day it is right back where it was before. I havew been doing water changes for a while and still no luck.. I cleaned the filters, the tank was cycled for a month before i added fish but still no luck.....Not sure what to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameCzar Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Is there any chance you had something die off that you haven't spotted? That could cause a spike in ammonia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameCzar Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Have you tested your tap water for ammonia? Im just reaching here, ammonia spikes are usually from decay of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICRO-TANKER Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 Yes water has been tested.. 0 Ammonia.. I agree with u, but all my fish are accounted for. I'm getting worried because now that all my puffers have been doing well and growing I'm now having the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameCzar Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 You can add Prime or something similar to your water to detoxify the ammonia until you get it sorted out. I'm sure someone will have more insight into this, hang in there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
