Raising neon goby

[Jorge MAnuel]

Hello

I´m trying to raise some neon goby larvae and they already are 72 hours old.
The main problem is that ammonia levels are too high even with 50% water changes every day.
I only have a heater and an air stone in the tank. Everything that I read say's to use a sponge filter only at day 15.
Why can't I use an matured air driven sponge filter from day one?

Sorry about my bad english

Thanks

I don't usually don't add a filter until they are on artemia, it won't hurt , if the fish are fine I suggest you keep changing the water.

You can use ammonia detoxifiers such as Amquell or Chloram-X along with water changes untill you can add the sponge filter.
