I've just switched tanks, from 60l to 125l (by just I mean today)

I've also switch from gravel to sand.

Well I'm now showing levels of ammonia in the tank.
Water stats are:
Ammonia - 1ppm
Nitrite - 0.1ppm
Nitrate - 7ppm

I've moved as much water over as I can, filter media has come over too, aswell as ornaments etc.
Shall I just be patient, with the theory that it's been a stressful move so they've excreted alot of waste.

If the levels are just as a result of today, then will they have reduced to zero overnight do you think?
I'm just a bit worried, the stress of moving + ammonia... = Fish that learn back stroke :(
 
Forgot to mention the fish are...
5 x Neon tetra
4 x Gold barb
3 x cory cats
5 x Kuhlii loach
2 x Bolivian rams.

I had NO problem with ammonia before this and there have been no new additions for ages.
 
Sometimes the tank can go into a mini cycle.
Just check water stats again.
All you can do is water changes and increase aeration.
