i've heard that doesn't work, if your filter isn't cycled and you added all the fish at once, if might be causing the nitrate spike.

 

[davidwhite136]

fish not added at once tank was cycled
then added 6 mollies 3 white and 3 black waited 2 weeks and added 3 algie cleaners and 6 more small fish and thats it filter is matured im sure



but did last week take out filter and cleaned it but in tank water also added synthetic filter wool to filter

You're going to have to give more info - tank size, how long it's been set up, what fish are still in there, etc.

The 1st fish is an endler, pretty hardy fish, very nice to. I cant seem to find any any where!

2nd picture, Hmm not sure what that is. Doesnt look like my mollies but there are different types?

test your water dailey to keep tabs of Nitrates. All I add in a water change is water treatment/chlorinator.

Hope things stay settle for you.

High nitrates could be due to overfeeding as well. I know that's what happened in my tank.
My nitrates got upwards of 50+ and someone on another forums suggeseted that I might be overfeeding.
I cut back on feeding, did a good gravel vac and haven't had a problem since.

Really? Never knew that. I thought amonia peaks were from over feeding? Good to know though for future reference
