Hey Man...I am glad to know I am not alone. It is quite frustrating!

I am not sure what else I can do I have used everything available in the market that's formulated to reduce Nitrites...nothing, Water changes...nothing, Filter changes...nothing

All my other fish are looking OK for NOW . They are eating like little monsters, especially since I am now feeding them every other day trying to reduce the Nitrites.

I have seen small changes in one of my other fish...looking a bit sluggish and scrapping his side with the rocks at the bottom of the tank. However eating well and still agressive

Let's see what happens. Will kepp you posted.

Well Folks...I see the light at the end of the tunnel

I have done Nitrite testing the past 2 days and they seem to be going down to somewhat acceptable levels

The results range between .25 and .50 PPM Much better in comparison to the previous readings of 2.0-5.0PPM so definitely some progress

The last 2 WC's were approximately 20% each one Monday and one Tuesday. I have added Stability and Aqua Safe for the past several days and it seems to be working very effectively

Feeding has been reduced to every other day and I may decrease to every 3 days until I see the Nitrite levels go down futher

Will keep you posted!
