hey i woke up this morning to find my rope fish, trying to swim down to the bottom of the tank, only to stare in horror as he tried and tried but its like someone put a ballon full of air in his tail! he keeps tring, but no luck, hey seems to be moving around a bit like ussual, just cant really submerge his last like 3.5"(hes like 10-11"). what can i do! whats happening i would take a pic but i dont know where the camera is.

my params are:
ph?(will test when i get home)
nh3-0.1
n03-5.0
no2-1.0

i cant seem to get rid of that last bit of nitrate, i never was but i dont really let it move much either, everything else zeroed out and my nitrite has been steady. i will try to find the cam to show u guys what he looks like, i have class will check back with everyone in 2 hrs. i cant test for hardness, so i am going to go to petco after school and get my kh and gh tested as well. please help!
