Colu Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) What I would do is do smaller water changes and add prime to detoxify the nitrites to large daily water changes can stall your cycle which could be leading to the high nitrite reading your seeing I would stop feeding your fish for a couple of day Edited May 19, 2021 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
