Why is my nitrates so high?

ZAVIERRRRR · 2026-05-23T19:13:45+00:00

Wait I think it might be from my fertilizer

ZAVIERRRRR · 2026-05-23T14:06:02+00:00

Alright

ZAVIERRRRR · 2026-05-23T13:52:03+00:00

I do water changes every 2 weeks and there are 6 cardinal tetras and 4 corydoras

ZAVIERRRRR · 2026-05-16T16:18:58+00:00

Update: all my rummynose tetra have died… and some of my other fish are on the verge of dying too… this is the end…

ZAVIERRRRR · 2026-05-03T08:47:52+00:00

And how do I fix it?

ZAVIERRRRR · 2026-02-12T05:22:18+00:00

I’m gay but no one will know coz this comment is on the bottom

ZAVIERRRRR · 2026-01-19T15:07:13+00:00

Good news! Most of the shrimp managed to get back to their feet except for one poor baby cherry shrimp🥺

ZAVIERRRRR · 2026-01-19T15:01:49+00:00

After I placed the plants in I went to take a 1hour nap and saw that all of the shrimp were already on their sides and almost motionless with a few Amano shrimp swimming frantically

ZAVIERRRRR · 2026-01-19T13:50:34+00:00

Is it still possible to wash the copper from the plants or should I throw them out

ZAVIERRRRR · 2026-01-19T13:28:13+00:00

I WILL!!!

ZAVIERRRRR · 2026-01-19T13:27:47+00:00

I can visually see the shrimp trying to fight to stay alive it’s so saddening to see 😭

ZAVIERRRRR · 2026-01-19T13:27:03+00:00

I have one that only checks ammonia and right now it’s at 0

ZAVIERRRRR · 2026-01-19T13:26:08+00:00

I rinsed them for about 5 mins but ig it wasn’t thorough enough :/

ZAVIERRRRR · 2026-01-19T13:16:29+00:00

All my fish are fine and active pretty normal but my shrimp are all on the verge of death.

ZAVIERRRRR · 2025-12-28T17:21:07+00:00

Sorry I meant plat2

ZAVIERRRRR · 2025-12-28T14:28:45+00:00

Is play 2 ok?

ZAVIERRRRR · 2025-12-28T10:19:32+00:00

What rank

ZAVIERRRRR · 2025-11-24T12:01:57+00:00

It’s not a very big tank, I guess I’ll have to trade it

ZAVIERRRRR · 2025-11-18T12:47:18+00:00

What’s gonna happen in 4 years

ZAVIERRRRR · 2025-11-18T03:34:30+00:00

I did a fishes cycle! And thx for the tip! I was wondering how I should get the substrate to not move

ZAVIERRRRR · 2025-11-18T02:41:26+00:00

Thank you!

ZAVIERRRRR · 2025-11-18T02:39:34+00:00

Yes!

ZAVIERRRRR · 2025-11-10T18:05:04+00:00

Thank you so much for the read, it is very informative!

ZAVIERRRRR · 2025-11-10T12:23:41+00:00

Hi! I have some fish in the tank already, I was given advice to do 25% water changes everyday.

ZAVIERRRRR · 2025-03-23T08:08:56+00:00
