Eaglebarret Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Hi everyone, one of my tanks has just had a nitrite spike. My barramundi is not looking well at all so i put him in a container in a fully cycled tank, do you think he will recover? Also how do i make certain all the other fish will be ok? i have added a whole heap of prime to assist. any suggestions would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 salt is said to relieve some of the issues duing a nitrite spike, if you've primed it you should be right though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeW Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 If you've added a dose of prime it should be fine. Check the dosage on the bottle - but prime does bind nitrite and should sort the problem. Stop feeding immediately and find the cause of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaglebarret Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 The cause of the problem was the fact I cleaned my canister and changed half of it to matrix and left the other half as is. This was obviously enough to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
