Hi all!
Where to start...?
Four weeks ago, I got a new Clown Loach and 5 Neon Tetras for my 65 Gallon Tank. My aquarium was fully established, all the testings were completely normal. At the time I had
After the ick was gone, 3 Neon tetras died.
I tested for ammonia and nitrites and my readings were very high.
I have been doing big water changes, at least 50% each time, but I dont see them levels going down.
Yesterday I tested for ammonia and it read 2.0 ppm, I tested for nitrites and it read 0.25ppm.
Today I tested, and ammonia was normal, but my nitrites went up! They are in 2.0ppm!!!
I need help!
I have my newborn mollys in there. I am scared that any of my fish will die. I have had them all since the beginning!
Please Help Guys!
What can I Do?
Is it just that I ruined the biological filter with the medicine?
Should I just wait until it establishes itself?
