The stupid paraguard cap wouldn't come off ( never opened it before) tried to cut top off and ended up cutting the **** out of my finger so I ended up just added some salt and hoping for the best

Your nitrate is zero?

If you are using a liquid nitrate test kit, check the expiration date on the bottle and if it's not expired, then tap the bottle on a wood table top, then shake the bottle vigorously for 3 minutes and test again.

If it's really zero, and you didn't just do a 100% WC with 0 nitrate water, the tank would not seem to be cycled.

Afaik, NITRATE tables do not show 0 to .25 ppm. You are providing readings for what look like nitrite or ammonia, but I'm referring to the nitrate readings.


And which tank are these fish in?

Do you have any other camera you can use to get pictures?

Have you added any fish or live aquatic animals at all to the tank since you introduced the gulpers (even feeders)?
