Hello I’ve had my 20g tank since July 7. The ammonia was very low, along with no nitrites, 6.8 pH and safe amount of nitrates up until 2 days ago. I did a 25% water change after a week of not doing one and later that day had a nitrite spike- no more nitrates, high ammonia, pH is hard to keep at 6.8. Besides the water change- that day I added a few small panda corys. I’ve had a 3” angelfish in here all along with a baby pleco.
My tank seemed to be almost 100% cycled and the one day I did the change and added some corys threw everything off, what gives?! The water had been salted at 1 tsp per gallon for angels fin rot. The water is foggy.
Should I continue water changes daily until it clears? I’m afraid to lose bacteria since I know it’s still in there I didn’t clean out anything just did a 25% change.
Should I just leave the water alone and let it clear?
Please help!
