If you read any ammonia you have too much. New tanks have to cycle.

Too much what my friend?

Also it would be best to keep one thread going not multiple so you can keep track of the info you are getting.

Okay thanks I'm new I'm keeping track. I just thought I'd get more people to look into it. I'm doing a 50 percent water change right now

ammonia in any amount is a bad thing try to get some prime to help neutralize it

This will neutralize the ammonia, but only for a day. This also extends how long the cycle is going to take, as the ammonia is what feeds the beneficial bacteria that convert ammonia into nitrite.

Give the baby mollys away. You can then feed less and lower your ammonia input. You are most likley going to get more babies soon. If you want to raise them move them to the 10 gallon.

Okay thanks I will. But I don't have a filter or heater so I'm going to have to wait.

The prime changes it to a different type of ammonia it still feeds the cycle
