[TheTankKeeper]

Hi I'm new don't be mean, I have a 40L aquarium with 5 guppies, 1 dwarf gourami and 2 corys.

The ammonia levels are fairly high due to the tank has not fully established what's he best way out of this, the fish are behaving normal and are active as they could be all the water parameters are fine just for the ammonia Thanks.

read the beginners section linked in my signature abotu filter cycling. You are in a fish in cycle, so regular water changes to dilute the ammonia are the only answer. You are looking at about 50% of the water every day for a month, starting with a 90% change right now. Make sure you use dechlorinator in the new water. But like i said, beginners resource section for more detailed info. Start now, or you fish will be dead within days, ammonia is very toxic.

PS , Go buy a liquid test kit.

API freshwater master kit, is highly recommended and will last you ages.
