Water changes maybe? I think you need to read up on the nitrogen cycle.
And why would it be too high because your guppy lost its color? Ammonia is produced from fish waste and leftover food in the tank.

These catfish also grow very fast, even being kept in a 29 will stunt him very quickly. Due to in the vast variances in this and all over the forum, I am not really sure what you actually have, but if you have a 120, but him in there now.

These catfish will grow to a foot in less then a year. There is no long way to go.

Even if your sharks are 2 inches now, they will grow extremely big very fast. Good luck.

Also, your catfish is probably acting weird because his friend died. I had a pair of Angelfish once, one of them died (got eaten by a Vampire Pleco) and the other one died after. The second one did not get eaten or picked on, did not have any disease, and was not stressed. He just died, possibly because of "loneliness".

Get him another friend!

Not good advice. Don't add fish to an already problem tank. He's most likely "acting weird" for the same reason the other one died, probably because of bad water quality i.e. high ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates.

the poster above is right. i'm not sure fish hav the emotions we do. a neon tetra may die if its not in a school but, that's because of stress. id sharks should be able to school so i don't think your aunts 900g will work out.
