Advice For My Tank

[Freedom18]

Hmm, I'll keep an eye out for it. And i got a medicine dropper for the blood worms, works pretty good. I'm gonna pick up the background and some more plants tonight, I'll post pics when I can.

Ok, so update. I'm an idiot. For some reason I thought it would be ok to throw away my Bio Filter... I know thats a very stupid thing to do, so im not sure why i did it. But like most of you figured, I put the tank through a mini-cycle. I have barbs dieing left and right, my eels are probably next. The frogs can't hold on much longer either. On the positive side though, my Algae eaters have never been better. Which is also strange considering the levels in my tank. And yes im swapping water, and I added some AmmoLock to it so hopefully that'll save the fish. I'll post again if it improves.

sorry about the CAE, i wasnt sure but now i know myself. but they are known as sucking loaches too right?
why did you throw away your filter? sad about all the fish dieing. maybe move them to another tank if you can, or keep a close eye on them.

They do look very loachish so i would not be surprised. I through away the filter because of a large white hairy growth all over it. so i threw it away without a thought. Worst part is, i know better too.

Just tested the levels in my tank. I have never seen something like this. I am honestly afraid to breath over my tank right now... I have one of those API test kits with the test tubes you know? well my Ammonia tube turned black...

Ammonia: Off the chart. It reads to 8 which is a dark green, and mines pitch black. so Im gonna say, 9 or 10
Nitrates: 10
Nitrites: 2

I feel so bad about this...and since I'm moving soon I cant afford another tank to put them into. I'm so lost right now.

you should fill it all the way up with water so you get more free space for the fish

other than that great job
