Too much ammonia in fish tank?

I have a 30 gallon freshwater aquarium. It has two zebra fish, a silver dollar fish, a sunburst, two neon tetras, a guppy, a frog, a scissors tail and a cory cat in it. I do a partial water change almost every 10 days. I have had it set up for about a month now. I test almost every day for ph, nitrate, and ammonia levels. The ph and nitrate levels are great. The ammonia levels are always high though. I have four ammonia bags in the tank (to help control the ammonia). I feed the fish twice a day fish flakes. There is never any left after 5 minutes of feeding. I also give them a treat once a week of freeze dried brine shrimp cube. Why do you think the ammonia is always high? I have tried ammonia lock to help control the ammonia, but it doesn’t seem to be helping. I have two filters in the tank and both hang on the back. What do you think could be causing the ammonia problem? I also add aquaium salt with every partial water change. Any suggestions?

3′ Foot Freshwater Aquarium with Shrimps, Frogs & Tetras

This is my six week old community trpoical aquarium. I plan to add about 20 more tetras in about 5 species. look out for the Amano Shrimps, they’re great and I will be adding some Cherry Shrimps soon. Next tank will be a 30″ planted shrimp tank, will be making the lighting system myself, so please look back soon. Please rate this as its the first time I’ve made a movie, so you’ll have to put up with some bad editing. Thanks for viewing! Please feel free to comment

I have a question about fish Please Help?

I really don’t like fresh water plants because they leave a big mess on my fish tank and my parents don’t want me to buy plants for my fish tank. So I went to a store and bought bamboo plants because they don’t make a mess but I was still wondering if it was good to put them in my fish tank. I currently have gouramis,plecos,tetras,danios,1 catfish. Please help. Also if I buy a fresh water shrimp angel fish or frog will it get eaten by one of my fish?

Bamboo Plant in Aquarium?

I have a 20 gallon aquarium freshwater tank with 4 tetras, 1 dwarf gourami, 1 pea puffer, 1 loach, and a dwarf frog. I have fake plants and 2 branches as decor. I want live bamboo (dracaena) in my tank, just because it looks different. I’ve seen Petco fully submerge bamboo inside their tanks with shrimp. I’ve done research but found out that bamboo will rot if fully submerged. How does Petco do it?

Has anyone tried it?

I found this link and this person seems to have successfully planted bamboo into his tank. Do you think I have to cut the roots and leaves off before putting varnish dip? Can I buy varnish dip at Home Depot?
