Evening all-
My husband and daughter have decided to enter the tropical fish owner life and we need some guidance. We have a 20gallon tank with all the works(filter, heater, decor).
We got the tank set up and filled with water, did the chemical thing and waited 48 hours to get the fish-im realizing it was probably too quick now. Well... One Betta and 6 tetra came home, adjusted to the water for about 15-20 minutes and then all started dying when they entered the tank. The Betta lasted the longest which was roughly 6 hours but they all died very quick. We have no idea what went wrong..
We bought an API testing kit and it looks like our PH is very high and ammonia is .25. how can I lower the ammonia?
Can any help with next steps so we can get some new fish friends.
