We've had high nitrite since Saturday evening.. Have done 4 water changes 2@15% and 2 @ 30% Nitrite has been going up and down. Was at 5, got it down to 1.25 and now it is back at 2. I didn't feed the fish at all sunday (three colombian red-fin tetras) and only a tiny portion tonight (no...

Thanks so much! You have been so helpful! We want to get more, but were told by the LFS to not have more than 2-3 fish when starting a tank. Nitrates are good, Ammonia won't quite get to 0, but close, nitrites were always very low until yesterday. :thanks: Also - sorry - does anyone know why...
