Wow! That's super high. Test your tap water, maybe you have chloramines, they show up on the test kit as ammonia.

I'm sorry you are having troubles with your tank. It is sometimes hard to keep a goldfish tank clean even with smaller fish.
We all know you are trying your best. There is only so much you can do, though. Don't beat yourself up about this.
If she needs to go to a pond, then you need to rest easy and know she will be happy in her native environment, and will have all the room to grow that she will ever need.
You are trying hard and doing the right thing. That's all anyone can do.
Yeah, I just tested my tap water, and its at 0 ppm, so it must just be because Queen is so huge and her poopies are so huge too.
Twisterdog, thank you very much, your words are comforting:) You're very right, and so are all the rest of you. If a month passes and even with all my effort possible the tank does not clear up, then Queen will be happier in a pond as it would be much healthier. It would be sad, but I will also be happy because I know she would have a better home. I will try not to be beating myself up over it.
If Queen does have to go, then I will have to make the best out of a beautiful tropical fish tank. There is definately more you can do with a tropical tank and I can have really pretty live plants and they won't eat them and rip them up(hence Queen eats my live plants lol)
Once again thanks so much everyone!
OHHHH MAN! I really hope every thing goes well and you just KNOW everyone at PT is rooting for you keeping her, seeing as Queen IS one of, if not the most popular fish on PT.
