Hi guys please reply ASAP if you’ve got any advice ! I currently have a newly cycled fish tank with 6 danio and 5 Pygmy Cory as well as my albino Bristlenose pleco. Currently the water parameters are around 1ppm nitrites 7 ph and negligible nitrates. My albino Bristlenose pleco has recently been only stayingaround my spray bar during the d where the bubbles are. I am worried that there is something wrong and am planning to do frequent water changes buying an air stone if a lack of oxygen is the problem . All my other fish are displaying perfectly normal symptoms so I am wondering what the problem is. Please reply if you can be of any help!

What is your ammonia nitrite and nitrate levels? 1ppm of nitrites are too high and indicating that your tank is not cycled and do a 50% water change today and see if the levels have gone down, if not do either another 50% water change or a 75% one and test your tank water for nitrite to see if the levels have gone down. You should have a shoal of 6 or more cories. What is your tank size?
 
What sized tank? How often do you do water changes and how much water do you change each time?
