I got the nitrites back to 0 the next day after another water change and amquel. I usually stick to a 20 percent water change bi-weekly and change the carbon filter monthly which has been working well. I felt guilty I hadn't noticed the filter backup (a bit too much algae on the intake tube) but work got crazy-busy and I was putting in alot of hours at work 
I also know that the tank is a bit overloaded due to too much fish-orgies going on! I gave away 4 of my babies to a neighbor who has an established 70 gallon tank and only a few fish. I told them I have more for them if they want! They said they want to allow the tank to adjust slowly to the addition first which I think is a good idea too. She is still kind of floating to the top - I am going to add some marine salt to the water as I have not done that recently. Has anyone heard of permafix for swim bladder? Is it harmful at all or should I try it? Also I read something about peas - I have some frozen peas, would these work? How would I feed those? Like, thaw them out and then throw them in, or what? Or what kind of peas do I get, fresh ones?
