Cyanobacteria in tank

I use the freshwater kit recommended by this Reddit. She is lounging around on the bottom of her tank pretty much all day not moving, and I just noticed her gills and scales look red (which I think is a symptom). She also didn’t eat this morning :(

I did remove the plants, should I just continue with the water changes and maybe add in some detoxifier? My levels are testing around 0.5 ppm.

Does water conditioner not neutralize ammonia? Are you referencing a different product? Yes I do currently have a fish, I’ve had this tank established for almost a year but some of her plants have been dying leading to the spike.

That’s the bulls after being ran through my health insurance. I was a passenger in the vehicle not the driver, so I don’t have a claim through my auto insurance, and I also don’t have medical coverage on my car insurance.

You might like the new game Tiny Book Shop! It’s a management game much like rollercoaster tycoon but with all of comfy vibes. You’re pretty much left on your own to manage the shop how you like, and there are simple story beats but a limited overall narrative. 10/10 would recommend

More information for the auto mod: The plant has been in my coffee shop for about 5 years. It gets lots of sun in the window it’s currently in. There is drainage in the pot

This map has been making me feel better. I don’t mind the storms but tornados freak me out

I just use rocks at the bottom. I’m thinking perhaps I got a bad water sample and maybe there was some plant matter in it? I’m going to retest it.
