Got home tonight to find that one of my male guppys had brownish/green spots on him. No idea what these are. Did water parameters and came up with the following:
ammonia - 0ppm
PH - 7.6
Nitrites - 2ppm 8O
Did an immediate 50% water change and when I came home just now tested the Nitrites again and they came out to about 1.5ppm.
1. Should I do another 50% change tonight
2. Can I get 2 false readings in one night
Quick note - the temp in the tank has dropped about 6 degrees Celcius in 2 days and sits about 24 ....the tank doesn't have a heater yet because it has been so hot. I know that a drop in temp may increase Nitrites in the tank.
This should have been in the unhealthy forum but thought I would get more traffic here. Mods feel free to move it!
