Ammonia 8ppm, nitrate .5ppm, nitrite 5ppm ph 7.4. Can some tell me how to lower my ammonia?!
Dead fish count: 4 2 sens, 1 endli, 1 palmas.
I also fed them earth worms 2 days ago, nothing else. I bought those worms from a gas station. Could that be the cause?

water changes is the best way to lower your ammonia.
and i think the worm might have done it to....but i'm no CSI.

thats what im thinking to the worm! my other ornate, palmas, endli, and 2 oscars are completely fine because i didnt see them eat any worms.
Arent bichirs tough fish? I thougth that they are able to withstand waters with high parameters.
This is how they died.
First, difficulty swimming. cant even swim on surface to breathe for air. But their breathing seems fine under water.
Second, they just loose balance and just goes bellyup under water then they float to the surface.
Can someone tell me if this is poisoning or a desease or parasite infestation?!

your ammonia is ridiculously high so the tank probably wasn't cycled.
could be internal parasites, too
