I have a 20-gallon AIO cube tank, and the pet store recommended introducing two Chromies to finish the cycle. However, my ammonia level is between 0.2 and 0.4. Despite this, the fish are still alive and eating well.
After seeking advice from another store, the owner suggested that I should have waited before introducing the fish. When I mentioned doing a water change, he advised against it and recommended leaving everything alone.
Now, I have another dilemma as someone has gifted me two Orange Storm clownfish, which will arrive tomorrow, Thursday, as a surprise birthday gift. I'm concerned about putting them into the tank and risking their health due to the high ammonia levels.
What should I do?
