...st of my cardinals died and then 2 of the discus also died. I gave a course of Maracyn I & II. Now, my nitrite level won't go down. It's at 0.25. Ammonia is at 0.00; Nitrate is at 10.

how can i rapidly decrease the nitrite level in my aquarium ?
Hi
I am new to this and have a new tank that has been going about 9 weeks. Nitrite level has consistently been at 0.5, because of that i have done quite a few water changes but nitrite is still at ...
ya keep posted...you have so high nitrite value...5 is too much for nitrite value....ya buy a test kit..do change 25% water in every 3 days until it goes down.....

... you have plenty of them. Hornwort is cheap, and it also provides hiding places for the fry.
As for the nitrite, it will probably not get to zero until the aquarium is fully cycled. In the interim,...
...sounds like you are doing things correctly. Have you had a chance to check your water parameters? Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, Temperature? What are you feeding them? How many are in what size tank....
...) to prevent a back syphon in the event of a power outage. The aquarium water should have zero ammonia and nitrite. To my knowledge, filters will not remove those two toxins. It takes colonies of bene...
since you have high nitrite (i think it'll be nitrite) levels, so do it change regularly untill it stables. then do 40% water change in every week. but now you have to do it to reduce the nitrite...
NO2 is nitrite, and it's toxic to fish but food for beneficial bacteria. This is a bit over simplified, but one good bacteria culture converts ammonia to nitrate and nitrite, and another one conv...
Thanks for visiting.
Ammonia and nitrite should both be at zero. The presence of nitrite means your aquarium may still be cycling. It could also mean you are over feeding or over crowding. In any c...
You can buy medications for internal parasites.
Are you measuring nitrate (NO3) or nitrite (NO2)? The nitrite, with an I, is what you want to stay at zero. Nitrate under a certain level is fine. Am...
During the cycling process you will have some ammonia and some nitrite. The ideal level for both is zero. The zero means that the beneficial bacteria have colonised the aquarium enough to neutralize a...
...didnt write all of this one.. only because its pretty confusing with chemical matters.
Nitrites
A nitrite compound is either a salt or an ester of nitrous acid.
Nitrite (NO2)...
Thanks for visiting.
From chemistry class i remember that nitrite (with an i) is one atom of nitrogen and two of oxygen. It's much more reactive than nitrate (with an a), which has one nitro...
... week, more with fry, or their growth can get stunted and they get deformed with any traces of ammonia and nitrite. Your ammonia and nitrite should be 0, and the nitrate should be between 5 and 40ppm...
...nk has cycled already, dosent that mean i already have the bactieria that your talking about ? and only my NITRITE has gone up 0.25ppm, ammonia is consistantly 0ppm and nitrate is consistantly 5ppm. i...
The fact that your nitrites are high is both good and bad. Good because that means you have enough bacteria to turn the ammonia into nitrite, but bad because you do not yet have enough bacteria to tur...
as vashe said i also cinfuse with nitrite or nitrate???if nitrate is high,then it's fine but if nitrite is high,then you have some problems in your aquarium.you haven't mention the nitrite ...
what are your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels ? is your tank cycled ? i would sujest a large water change as soon as possible. it sounds like your ammonia or nitrite levels may be dangerously high...

The ammonia and nitrite should both be at zero. If they're not, the aquarium could still be cycling. If that's the case, avoid disturbing the substrate during partial water changes. Those wa...
Fantastic! Glad you got the kit!
pH is good, ammonia and nitrite should be 0, and nitrates should be between 5 and 20. If you are having ammonia readings or nitrite, I would recommend 50% water c...
...line reading I realise with low ph of 6.5 ammonia is ammonium so ok. But I thought a reading of 1.6 ppm of nitrite was fatal?
The thing is with 50% water changes my guppies "do seem" to ...
