I just did a fishless cycle that ended a few days ago with everything great. I stocked my aquarium with fish yesterday and today the ammonia is getting a little high. I have a 15 gallon tank. What should I do to rectify this problem. By the way I am new at this.

If you use a filter that hangs on the tank you can try a product called ammocarb. It goes into your filter and keeps a check on the amonia.

This is what it looks like.
