Your not really helping the people who are trying to help you. They asked for the test results and one by one you are giving them answers it’s like pulling teeth....not fun...why don’t you take some time and re-read some of the responses and post all the info required for people to help you.
You posted 15-20ppm...of what? I can only assume you mean nitrates but one shouldn’t have to assume, if you want to help your fish you should be willing to offer as much info as needed
Most usually the pH between 6 and 8 is fine... but as long as it is stable, which it would not be if your KH is too low for instance or if you have huge accumulations of organic detritus.
15-20 ppm nitrate is fine.
Any ammonia reading and nitrite reading over firm zero ppm is not fine. Use a test tube filled with an ammonia-free water (tap, bottle, filtered) as your reference because 0.25 ppm is not easy to tell from zero ppm by using the color chart.
We are not here to flame you or point fingers and call you names or even judge you. We'd be shooting ourselves in the foot. We have all been where you are now and find ourselves there every now and then even after decades of fish keeping, so what? We all keep our fish on life support. We keep water really, not fish. If you want our help, Niki is right, you gotta read the protocol and our posts and then give us all you can.
... If you cared enough of course and willed. I, for one, have no expectations, whatever, and I am just glad to have you as a peer on MFK.

Thanks for everyone helping and all commends! I am sorry for let some of you think I am not a too serious for helping my fish. Since my wife was pregnant and she just delivered my first baby boy on Saturday morning. That's why I couldn't do or give all answer at same time. I was just too busy with taking care of my wife. Since I stayed hospital overnight and Sunday when I back home, my HBG was on the floor. I feel sad for that happen. But I have no choice btw my boy and fish. This is my lesson for my next time, and I will keep in mind for what you all saying. Thanks again!!
Goes to show all of us we shouldn't make negative assumptions or any unneeded assumptions. Live and let live.
Congratulations to you and your newly extended family! Hopefully it's another MFKer in a few years!
