Okay i have been on here before but couldn't sign in maybe cause if inactivity, before I was having an issue with die offs and sores, that's done thank God (knock on wood) I did lose 15-17 fish from it though which was sad, I always have good water readings EXCEPT Nitrate, yesterday I redid all my decor changed everything over from the plastic stuff you get from like petsmart to all Texas Holy rock from my lfs, i am going through a major snail invasion right now (pest snails) so when I was at my lfs I also got 2 clown loaches smaller ones 1.5-2", i love them and their personality, but now I'm worried because I checked my water tonight and here are the readings everything is perfect except the dang nitrate
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Ph - 7.4
Nitrate 80-100+ (hard time with shades of red)
Temp 77-78
I've tried everything that was suggested, 2 water changes a week instead of 1, cutting back on food from twice a day to once, adding plants (the tall ones didn't survive) bought a stronger vac etc etc nothing has worked I've tried for over a year and now I'm worried because the clown loaches are sensitive to water
quality and I'm worried is gonna start affecting my other fish but they seem fine, please someone has to have a solution lol
I attached a couple photos don't mind the hazy as i took them right after my water Change and decor replacement, yes I sprayed off the rock before I added them. Ty in advance
