Thanks for all the suggestions guys! It looks like some sort of decaying matter will be my next move - will let you know how it works out )

Hey everyone- sure I'm posting this in the wrong place so apologies! I know New Zealand's lack of fishless cycling appropriate ammonia has been talked about before, but it is really driving me mad now. Because I can't find any anywhere I just purchased some off Amazon US- it couldn't ship to NZ- so I had it delivered to a Youshop address to be sent on.. only to find they don't ship products that contain ammonia. So that's $27 down the drain. Anyone got any ideas?

So my new fish has ich, and what looks like the early stages of fin rot- it would have been nice if the girl in the pet shop today had noticed/cared. I've stuck a heater in the tank and i'm going to very slowly bring the temperature up. I'm also going to start adding aquarium salt to the tank- but I'm not really sure how much, and also how to go about water changes, and how frequently to add the salt. Would anybody be able to help, feeling pretty sorry for myself at the moment :(
