This is an old image of the fish before it totally turned yellow and still looked like a otocinclus but now it is totally yellow

I thought PH swings high &low where just normal parts of the aquarium 'cycle' and to leave it to run its course and not do anything to fix it. I got high & low PH swing when I did my aquarium cycles and just let it run it course and PH stabilized at end of the cycle.
