I tested the water yesterday and here are my results

PH-6.8
Amonia-1 PPM
Nitrate- A little darker on the chart than 0 so that means we are possible going to get nitrates in the tank I will be testing it again tommorw and We will see if I get to 5

Okay, So today I added some more Bio Spir and some more Cycle I am on a every other day sequence. I finnaly cut the bubble tube in 1/3 and put it under gravel and I have a good ammounth of bubbles now.

My fishes condition is getting worse. My gouramis and my red big eyed fish are showing no signs yet but my black and silver fish is showing excessive stuff all over fins over past 2 days and is shaking randomly he is going soon I am sure. My poor sick sevrem is getting sicker as it is now covering his entire body yet both fish are eating fine while my bala wasnt eating very much. I am trying my best to try to cycle this tank. I do NOT plan to add any more fish than my first 4 (my 2 gouramis, red fish and sevrem)

I keep adding cycle and bio spira I jsut hope its working. We will see if my nitrtates go up tommorow during my water test

but What is all over their fins? I mean is it called somthing, this white fungus stuff its now going all over the sevreum =/

Should I keep doing what I'm doing until I get a good cycle? I would like to save these fish but if they do not survive what would be the next step to try starting my aquarium again?
