Hi everyone! I have a 5 gallon tank I set up this summer. It was cycled before adding a couple cherry shrimp. Everything was good so I added a few more a couple weeks after. I started to have a nitrate/nitrite spike after adding the second time and I've been trying to get it under control ever since. It seems if I don't keep doing a small water change (~10%) aboute every other day the nitrite level starts going up slightly. Currently nitrate is at about 20 ppm and nitrite is 1.5 ppm and pH is about 8. Does anyone have some advice? It is a planted tank and I have barely been feeding them since the small spike.
