OK, so we have 2 pool comets. They were in a 5 gallon tank w/ a filter and areation. We figured out this was too small and got together a 10 gal set up. The day we went to switch them we saw that Will had dark red gill plates, a red spot on his lip and a little on his belly. Grace had only a little on the bottom of her gill plate. This was Sunday. We switched them to the 10 gal, doing a 50% water change. We took a water sample before and after, we had it tested at petsmart. The nitrate and nitrite levels were through the roof. The person at the fish store told us are bacteria had probally died. We have been using Aquarium salt, Prime-to reduce amonnia and detox nitrate and nitrate, stability - for new tank syndrome, and added bacteria. Today we did a 20% water change.(the store people told us nto wait till mon. and bring in another sample)
The fish have gotten more red spots and veins in the fins are visible. What do we do? How long will it take for them to heal? What is it? They are acting pretty normal, but continue to look bad. What about food? Thankyou!! Shiloh
