So I had 10 goldfish in a tank. They had been fine for a couple months, but then 4 of them died... I realized it was because the ammonia levels were through the roof. I added ammo-chips, ammonia removing solution, and have been regularly doing 20% partial water changes with a gravel siphon to remove the excess ammonia. However, I just realized that the females are all getting chased by the males and trying to lay eggs--which I read can cause the ammonia levels to become very high if they are unfertilized/in improper coniditions (because they just become decaying matter). I don't want to breed the fish, I don't have the time and I definitely don't want more goldfish... do I just have to let them have the eggs and hope I can keep the ammonia levels under control, or is their some other solution? I don't want any more fish to die!
