I am new to this site. I am seeking advice regarding my aquarium. My mollies and platys are not doing so well. When I tested my water, I found out the nitrite levels were high. I have been using "Prime" and "
Cycle" for the last 2 weeks. I kept doing water changes daily (50%), but the guy at Petco told me I was not giving my "good bacteria" enough time to grow by doing water changes so frequently and to only do a 20% water change weekly until I get my nitrite levels down. I am steadily losing fish because my Nitrite levels are still high. I have even took some gravel from a friend's established tank and put it in my tank to try to jump start my tank on yesterday. What else can I do???? I love my fish and I do not want them to continue to die or be sick.
