So as I was doing my pwc's yesterday and trimming my plants, I noticed I have 2 lemon tetras that are breathing heavily and missing their under fin and the tips of their tall fins, one is always hiding the other one doesn't hide he just hangs out, I do not know what's causing this as my water is always right in point as per parameters are concerned, always.
0 ammonia
0 nitrite
7.4-7.5 pH (can't decipher the blue gonna get a ph digital pen)
Nitrites 25-30 (again hard to tell the difference as almost the exact shade of colors on the card)
Tank is a 55 gallon (upgrading to a 90 next month)
Stock is as follows
6 ornate tetras
7 lemon tetras
1 long fin calico bn
2 boseman rainbows
2 emerald rainbows
2 irian red rainbows
1 turquoise
(before someone says that my rainbows are stocked wrong please don't as you don't have to have 5 of the same species, you can intermix to make a school of 5+)
3 juvenile clown loaches
I will attach pics where i held the tubes up to a lighted area and took the best possible pic as well as the 2 fish
Pic 1 in nitrite, 2 ammonia, 3 pH, 4 nitrate pics are darker than they are actually in person pretty silly as expensive as my phone is i can't get a good picture of a color liquid lol
Pic 5 is the guy that hangs out that's pretty tore up 6 is the one that hides
I don't think it's fin and real rot as no other fish has it only those 2, my ornate fins are absolutely stunning as well as all the other fish
Thinking I have a fish eating their fins but I've not saw it.
