I have had my 55 gal tank for 4 weeks w/2 orandas for 3 of the 4 weeks w/weekly water changes but....?
my ammonia keeps reaching 0.2ppm 2-3 days after each water change. What more can i do besides the water changes which have been 25-35% each week. I have two filters a bio-wheel 350 and a fluval 405, i am thinking of putting fluval ammonia remover in my filter any other advice?

Your tank is not properly cycled yet, so the filters are not processing the ammonia properly yet.
Best option is to keep changing the water and wait, it will settle down in time and as long as you keep the ammonia level low they fish will be OK.

It can take 2 months for a tank to completely cycle. Your tank just isn't done cycling yet, and the fact that you are using a type of gold fish doesn't help the cause at all. Gold fish shouldn't be used to cycle a tank, tanks just don't cycle properly and there is always problems with the water when using a type of gold fish. Your tank will finish cycling, it just may take longer than usual. Just keep doing your 25% water changes and check your ammonia levels again in a couple more weeks.
