I did about a 30 gallon water change a couple of hours ago on my 75 gallon tank. It's currently cycling with 6 White Cloud Mountain Minnows. Today was the first time I have had a Nitrite reading. It was .25 before I did the change. Ammonia at .50 which it has remained at for over a week. pH is normally around 7.6-8 but read closer to 7.4-7.6 today.
All of those tests were before the change.
I just noticed 4 of my 6 WCMM were in the corner of the tank at the surface. All look sluggish and possibly gasping for air. I did read that they can be sensitive to prime as I may have overdosed today. Before today all 6 fish have been very active.
I'm currently doing a water change. I use a sink to tank system, so I am not exactly sure the %. Should I do a large change? What about adding the prime back?
Thanks!
