Don't have many fish in tank at the moment - only 3 bronze cory cats and two (rapidly decreasing to one) dwarf gourami.
The ammonia level showed high reading but was told by an expert that this was ammonium therefore not toxic. I have sorted this out anyway by improving filtration (got two filters in there now). There was a low level of Nitrite but now zero. Just can't sort out PH.
thanks
