gwat we are trying to help you and so many threads going about the same thing, as well as you not liking what we try to help you with, are going to cause issues ....at this point, use your amqel with daily 50% water changes...put the amqel in your bucket with your new tap water

Are you using a liquid or strip test kit? Test strips are very inaccurate, the API master test is the best out there.

What are your levels right now?

You should be using Prime or something similar to neutralize chlorine in your water. Water untreated straight from the tap is going to hurt your fish. If you have a positive ammonia reading, your tank's not cycled.

I am curious... how you "accidentally" get fish the first day... and how they "accidentally" wind up in your tank before it's cycled... when you obviously know that part needs to be done first.

Well, the pet store does not need Alkalinity, Chlorine, Chloramine and Salinity for a basic FW tank... And he is missing Nitrite. You deffinately need to get an API!
