Remedies for high ammonia in new under gravel system for a Black Moor goldfish?

I am using very large gravel in a 10 gallon tank with a 3 week old under gravel system. Is the large gravel hindering the bacterial development? The ammonia levels are off the charts right now and i don't want my fish to die. Is there anything i can do to help him besides changing the water? I know i need a larger tank.

I wouldn't recommend an undergravel filter... at all really, but certainly not for a fish as messy as a goldfish. They're not the most effective type of filter and they have a tendancy to get clogged pretty easily, which means it may be that the filter simply can't cope with the amount of waste that a goldfish produces. Goldfish need a filter that is rated for at least double the volume of the tank. And if the filter is only 3 weeks old then it's not even cycled yet.

Obviously the best solution would be to get the fish into a larger tank, but you already know that. The only way to lower the ammonia in the tank is to do water changes. Even a tiny amount of ammonia is extremely toxic, so the fact that yours is 'off the chart' is very worrying. You may end up having to change 50% of the water every single day, but you really do need to get those levels down.
