Ok two things worry me about your post. First, even 0.1ppm of ammonia can be harmful and that you are even measuring ammonia means the tank is either not cycled or there is something else going on. The second thing is you comment that you vacuum to get old food out. That you can even have old food laying around is a sure cause of elevated ammonia levels and you may be over feeding. You should feed what your animals can eat at that time. If they eat a bunch and then start to ignore the rest of the food, then you have added too much.

So again, I am sticking to your problem is probably more related to either water conditions or a still uncycled tank. Do not buy any sort of medications. If anything those might make the situation worse if they disturb you biofiltering of the tank.
