Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I have three von Rio tetras in my tank. Recently one became very big and round. I thought it was pregnant but now I noticed that it is losing its stripes and red color. It's mouth is also a little rotted.
I've had mouth rots before on bloodfin tetras from high nitrates and nitrites and treated with a stress zyme which fixed it.
It's the first time I used a test kit (I've always taken water to a pet store test) but my results are
Nitrate 20
Nitrite .5
Hardness 300
Alkalinity 0
pH 6.8
What is the problem with my fish?
