Not necessarily I’d do a 30% water change everyday you also should get a testing kit and test your water parameters shouldn’t add anything to the tank until water parameters are stable you can message me if you have questions or need further help

You can also dose prime and stability. that should help neutralize any ammonia and nitrite that you have in the tank from damaging the fish. And stability is good bacteria to help cycle the tank faster.

It’s by Seachem. Should be at your LFS or even Petco. Maybe petsmart not sure about that tho. I know Petco has it. Or Amazon if you can’t find it near you

Oof nitrates still high? poor goby
how do i lower them?
Weekly water changes is the best way to lower nitrates and keep parameters stable. I’d aim for 10-20% water changes
