Hey Nitrite update: My tetra has not gone hiding in two days and my nitrites are coming down! YEA!!! I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! Thanks again to all who helped! :fun:

So I don't need to panic if my water is not perfect proper pH then? It was right about 7.0 then 2 days ago it dropped to 6.6. I guess that's not considered drastic huh? Oh by the way my little tetra came out of hiding again today and joinned his buddies. I don't get it, he's never done...

Yea, I know... like I said, that was not nice. I'm sure a pro like yourself gets aggrevated at us newbies for our ignorance but your words do not make any new people looking for help feel very welcome... :/

Ok great... thanks. One of my tetras was hiding this morning & not eating but a little while after the water change he came out & seemed like his normal self. I have a bubble wand burried under the gravel that makes air bubbles. Is an air stone different?

Thanks for the help you all. AA... how will I know there is an oxyenation problem? What is this? Why would it change and what would I do about it? Thanks again!

Just thought of something else I meant to ask.... I have a bubble wand thing buried under the gravel that makes air bubbles. It's connected by a plastic tube to an air pump. The other day I noticed that it looked like something was peeling off the tube. I realized later though that the tube...

Hi... Ok I was new to Fish a few months ago & found out the hard way about cycling a tank... Anyway, now that I know what's up & I have all my test kits I have a nitrite question. (I used Bio-Spira by the way) My tank is 15 gal. I have 2 cory cats, 2 platies & 4 tetras. I am testing very low...
