Aquarium Advice Freak
alright, i've been testing my water on a 10 gallon QT tank with one fish in it. it's a fairly new tank (about a month old now) and i have had a sick fish in there that i am trying to cure. i foolishly added a fish to it a week after running the aquarium, without checking the levels until about a week after i had the fish in there.
well, it's been a month and after RECENTLY finally doing another water test, i find my nitrites are extremely high (like about 2.0 at least) and nitrates are 10. the fish is looking really stressed lately, and i've been doing a LOT of water changes, but it's obviously not helping the nitrites.
so i'm wondering, what do i need to do to save this fish? should i keep doing water changes or stop so i can let the cycle complete?
