I have a 54l tank that was set up on the 23rd of November and I got two male guppies just over two weeks of it being set up. As soon as I added them in the ammonia spiked to 1 and I'm unsure whether it is still at 1 as my ammonia test strips aren't clear with what colour it is. I have a feeling that my tank isn't fully cycled yet and one of my guppies has suddenly became ill today. He is swimming like he has a weight at the end of his tail as his head is just pointing upwards. He keeps on laying down inside one of his hides looking like he has no energy and he is breathing quite rapidly. My other guppy doesn't really seem to be affected other than swimming against the glass quite a lot. All I want to know is whether any one believes it is caused by ammonia and how can I fix it as I'm doing regular water changes and adding filter aid and dechlorinator each time but I don't know whether I should do them everyday or what. Please could some one give me some advice as I'm really worried that my little guy is on his way out soon and I really don't want that or don't want it to happen to my other one
I have attached a video to show more clearly what he is doing(hopefully it has attached)Thanks in advance for any advice that is offered to me
