What am i doing wrong?
My tank has been up and running now for 4wks.
Unknown at the time about fishless cycling i started mine with fish.
The story so far is been checking my stats daily and kept a record of them.
ammonia up and down like a yo yo between 0.
PPM 0.25 to 0.50
nitrite stable for the last 5 days or so.0.ppm
nitrate 0.ppm been like this for ages.
pH 7.4 which can drop to 6.8 some days.
Been doing a daily
water change 20%.treating new water with Amquel plus.
Checked my stats this morning
Ammonia 0.25
Nitrite 0.ppm
Nitrate 0.ppm
PH 7.4
Feeding every other day,only very small amounts.
I don't know what i am doing wrong,and i feel like i am hopeless at keeping fish.
Can someone please help me and tell me what to do, as i am starting to stress now.
Thank you for reading and look forward to your advise.
From one very stressed out fish keeper.

* Hi Liz,* It really sounds like things are comming along fine.* Your fish are healthy?* I think I would feed them more than every other day.* That will produce more waste, and as you have already read, the beneficial bacteria need the ammonia to live.* I feed my fish three times a day, just as much as they will clean up in 3 minutes.* With this rule to guide you it just depends on the fish in the tank to tell you how much to feed.* *I vary the kind of food.* One feeding is flake and floating pellets, one is sinking algae wafers, shrimp pellets, the last is frozen 
Frustrating? Yeah, but what can ya do.... It's the price we pay to have a healthy happy aquarium.
