Help- FH acting crazy not looking good

[beantickler]

ammonia and nitrate levels should be at zero... ph for a fh should be 7-8 (consistency is key here)..

FHs are generally VERY hardy (much like the red devil/midas)... but this doesn't mean they should be kept in bad conditions. GL

Nitrate shout NOT be 0... If nitrate is 0 then u have an uncycled tank. I assume u meant to say nitrite...

Target ranges:::

Ammonia = 0ppm
Nitrite = 0ppm
PH = 7+
Nitrate = 10-20ppm

Just chiming in, do the "quick dip strips" really work?

Dip strips r garbage and a total waste of money

I figured they were. Never used them so I was curious.
