Hello, 3 days ago I moved my house and tranfered some of my fish to a new tank which I thought to be cycled, but it was not. So Some of my fish died and about half of them shows signs of ammonia poisoning, reddeness on fins, blurry eyes, staying close to surface. At the moment I cant transfer them to another tank, and cant to large water changes, but I'll transfer them to another tank in 36 hours for sure. I added lots of seachem prime to the tank to neutralize ammonia, installed a big hob filter filled with zeolite and added black water extract in high doses to lower ph. That is all I can do at the moment, I'll the solve the ammonia problem when I move them to another tank but I need advice if there is any medicine that I can use to reverse the effects of ammonia poisoning? Antibiotics, salt, naturel smt ...
The tank is 100 gallons, fishes are 22 spotted raphael catfish, 4 fancy plecos, 6 CA cichlids.
 
Huge water change and dose 5x prime daily
 
Thanks, I changed the tank, half of the fish are already dead, and the other half shows severe symptons of ammonia poisoning, IMO I'll lost all of them. Those fish were with me for 5 years, this is an epic mistake in my fishkeeping experience..
