My 55g aquarium is going wonky right now. My nitrate is out of the roof. Nitrites are clear. I've been doing 20% water changes the last 3 days and adding "prime" which eliminates nitrates and nitrites and helps with stress of fish. I do regular water changes every 3 weeks. Also my ph is very low (6-5). I have a foam fluval background so I removed this and notice that it was filthy behind it. Even though it was siliconed to the tank. Now one of my gourami has a bump on its side. Today I noticed another one on his head. I know they are really sensitive to water that is not right. Is there anything I can do without messing around with the water any more. Or any ideas what this is. I'm worried my fish are getting stressed out due to poor water and me doing water changes every day.
