pH = 6.6 (I did resume giving them a little more food the day before, but I still kept it very sparse, just enough for them to eat in a minute. Maybe that was a bad idea. After I saw the nitrites yesterday, I did not feed them at all). I did a 25% water change and checked the water Tuesday evening: Amm = .50 Nitrite = 0 to .25 (the color was not quite a light blue, yet not quite a light purple either) Nitrate = 10 pH = 6.8 This morning, the numbers were about the same as Tuesday morning: (Am. .50, Nitrite .25, Nitrate 10, pH 6.8) <... takes a while> The fish are acting quite normally and are not straining at the surface to breathe. No rapid breathing either. I don’t want to give them any more food and I’ll do another 25% change now.
