Ok I will try to answer all the questions
Nitrates = purple, test card missing, sorry
PH 6
High PH 7.4
ammonia 1 less then 0
Ammonia 2 little red, tank stinks
The sore has been there about a week. I asked dh about it on Monday he said don't worry. But it is way worse. I am heading to our local fish store and bring a water sample also. But any help would be great.
Forgot to add there are about 5 fish with it now!
