I knew he was looking pretty bad last night. Not sure what it was that killed him, but I'm guessing the high nitrites. He had no ick spots....never did. I started the salt/heat treatment, and everyone looked fine with that. But my nitrites started to spike a day or two after I started treating, and I'm guessing that's what got him. He started looking pale, and managed to hang on a couple days, but this morning was gone. My cardinals and gourami seem to be perfectly fine though. I've been doing water changes every day, and can't seem to get my nitrites to drop. They are btw. 5-10 (closer to 10). Every morning I wake up and think today will be the day they start dropping, but no.
I'm getting tired of this, and I only have a few more nitrite/nitrate tests left. It's been nearly a month since we started.
