Tbh idk but they shouldn't be that bad because I do a 25 or 50 percent water change every weeks on all my other tanks and I've been trying to save money up for more root feeding plants to eat the nitrates up
He's very fin-clamped. Please do an emergency water change of 75%, making sure to use a declorinator, and to temperature match the new water to the tank temperature before adding it into the tank.
If the ammonia is high, a large water change will remove 75% of it, and hopefully dilute what remains enough to be less harmful. Until you can test the water and be sure of the levels, it's safest to act as though ammonia is high, and do the large water changes to make sure the water is safe in the meantime.
Once that is done, please come back and let us know more details about the tank! Can copy/paste the template below and fill out the answers you know, and this should help us diagnose what's happening/happened in your tank
