Re: Crazy water testing results.
Vickmacki and you guys are right. I think the fish are looking fine because the pH is keeping the ammonia safe(R).
So with every water change the pH is coming up, and ammonia becomes more and more dangerous. With how high it is already it will be a lot of water changes before it is at safe levels, the exposure getting down to .25 or so will take days and might kill them. I can pull the fish to a better tank but the pH shock might kill them too...
Feels like a bad game of fishy Russian roulette.
