On monday I lost a Flame angel, took another sample and it tested high in ammonia and nitrites. Lost another angel and a tang. Still have two clownfish and yellow tang left. Did a twenty gallon water change (47 gallon tank) and added Prime as directed. Store could not give any explanation as to the spike, also had a white slime on two of the fish that died. Two of the fish had been in the tank about ten days the third about 21 days. Would appreciate any feedback or help you could give me.
