I'm hoping this is the last time I have to post here. I recently had issues with a nitrite spike but thanks to everyone's help here the tank is stable. I used filter media from a friends tank to kick start my cycle over again. So here's my current issue. Shes got a belly, a upward curve in her spine and shes turning blue (but I think shes a marble so I'm not too concerned about that one). I've had her for 3 months and I've never had a feeding issue. Once I noticed the belly I had her fast for 3 days, didnt do much. I tried 1/2 a pea hoping she needed fiber, didnt do much. I'm hoping the nitrite spike didnt hurt her. I caught it in 24ish hours. And since I know I'm gunna get asked I feed her micro pellets and some kind of protein fish flake thing. 2-3 times a daily maybe 2-4 micropellets depending on her mood and maybe 1-2 flakes. I like to switch them off so she gets a good range. She still has an appetite, swims normal. No pinecone scales or swimming sideways. Like I said tank stats are back to normal and steady. I'll post a before and after pic, she was also swimming downward in the pic, it's a screenshot of a video so the curve is kind of exaggerated. Please help.
