Hi, I've just noticed that two of my three ottos have bright red gills. I know this I usually caused by ammonia, but I have been testing my water every day for the past two weeks and ammonia and nitrites have been consistently 0. Nitrates vary between 10 and 20. I thought that as otocinclus are very sensitive, they might be picking up on ammonia levels that the kit(api drip test) wasn't showing, but if that's the case surely all 3 would be showing red gills?
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what it could be?
As I'm writing this, I've noticed one of my guppies gills are also red, and another one just rubbed itself on a rock. I know the pic is awful (iPhone camera) but it does show how red his gills are thanks in advance for the help!
