Worried about my Ammonia Level!

[SMSBrunetteGirl]

Didnt know which section I should`ve put this in but here are the results:

Freshwater Ammonia (NH3/NH+4) Color Card

0.50 Is this a bad thing?

Yes, ammonia should be at zero. Is the tank cycled? I would do fairly large water changes until the level goes back to zero. I also have something called a "PolyFilter" which is supposed to filter out ammonia but I never used if for that. I just put it in the tank sometimes if the fish look wierd. But it's not a replacement for changing the water, just an extra measure of precaution.

Do about a 20% water change, test it the next day should be fine.If it still there, do another 30% water change.
