    It looks like it do you have a ammonia test kit, if not i would get one and test your water one more time. If they are around the same wait a few days then recheck and so on till it all of them hit 0 when that happens do maybe around a gallon wc and add cuc and maybe one small fish and enjoy:)

    yes making the ammonia was its job.

    I'm guessing you already added your rock, if not and its live beware that will cause a mini cycle.
