Noticed one of my blue platys resting on the bottom and acting rather lethargic so I took a reading of the water and the nitrite was a bit high, I have a 55g tank and I did a 25% or so water change. Hope everything is going to be ok

Lots of water changes and make sure your not over feeding these little guys
 
I feed twice a day, just a couple pinches of food hope i'm not over feeding they seem to eat all of it though. I'm one less platy now =( but I got my nitrite reading back to 0 last night before I went to bed, all my other buddys appear to be fine. Also I vacuumed some of the gravel while I was doing the water change as well so maybe everything is ok now.
