Are you cycling your tank or are there any fish in there?

i have 3 gourmis and 1 molly in the tank !

i lost 2 mollys due to high nitite

i was told to add cycle liquid !

You can add all the cycle you want, but I'm afraid that it won't do any good...

First and best option (IMO) - Rehome the fish with a friend / back to where you bought them, do some reading of fishless cycling and start again

Second option - Get cracking on the water changes, around 30% a day until you see Ammonia / Nitrite hit 0

The positive sign is that the tank is clearly startying to cycle, but it can't be at all pleasent for the fish...

I dont want to rehome them , i did a 30% water change last night ,
how long til i get it right with water change ?

Liquid cycle won't work. None of that crap does. How big is your tank? When you're changing water, are you adding the proper amount of water conditioner to it? As far as how long it will take...it'll take until your ammonia and nitrite reads zero. This pet store, are they the ones who sold you the tank? If they didn't instruct you on either fishless cycling or fish cycling, you need to find another store.
