My tank is about to complete week 5 of a fish in cycle on a 10g with two platys. I've been having my nitrite spike for the past 8 days now, before wc's my nitrite levels have been around 1-2ppm and after one sometimes two WC's a day I do my night tests and levels will be between 0-.25 or right at .25 and by the time morning test time rolls around its back up to 1-2ppm :/ nitrates are usually around 5ppm, some days its in between 0-5 and some days its clearly 5, one day they got up to 10 but that only happened once. Good news is my ammonia has been testing either a visible 0 or barely above zero, it's been a yellow color that's obviously not the light green of the .25 level for a week now. Getting a little worried that my platys have suffered their gills being burned by the nitrite levels, I can't tell it on my red wag but on my Micky mouse who is silver her gills are looking a little pinkish red
