Yes I know my tank's too small but I have heard so many conflicting things about them i.e. don't buy any less than 3 but my lfs said it should be fine just to buy one! I figured I'd get a few and see how it goes. I just tested the ammonia, it's now come down to 0.5.......weird???

I added 3 Clowns to my 100 litre tank a few days ago, before I added them my ammonia levels were at 0 and have been at 0 for some time since I got some problems with my tank sorted. I just did my weekly water change and went through all my test kits, everything is healthy but the ammonia level...
