Ok, will do. I truly felt bad for doing it. Thanks for the advice

Update: Well I sent the fish to fish heaven. She didnt seem to be doing that well, and I didnt want to take any chance she could spread the disease. My Nitrite level may not be zero, its not a "dark" blue which would indicate a zero according to the testing kit, so maybe its between 5-10!! I...

Tank was set up in March 2005. Been cycled. Have had like 3 corys die since set up. Gave up on them!! nitrite and nitrate may not be zero, but pretty close. Isn't that where they should be?

Yes my tank is now cycled. Took a month. Used Bio Spira. The water levels were never that bad, but guess to hard on the cory's!!!
