well i'm not sure if thats wright or not my mum deals with the water checking
i cant see anything thats wrong with him by the picture, does he clamp his fins?
if you could it would be alot easier for us it you could get a bit of a clearer picture
good luck anyways

Id say its more likely for you to have 5ppm nitrate and 0 nitrite, there should be no nitrite and most tanks have some nitrate.

I have recently acquired some endlers and all of my males have some red on them. The red could just be natural coloring. How is he doing today?

Do any of the others have the red blotches? It may be a parasitic or bacterial infection, try adding a dose of myxazin or something similar. Do a 50% water change as well, that can't do any harm.
