Problem w/ my Orinos gills.

[callen]

dont mean to be a PIA but are you sure the nitrates are 0?

Can you see the color of the actual gill? not the cover. If it is browning and not the redish/pink that may be a sign of nitrate poisoning. You can treat with aquarium salt to help the blood carry the O2 a little better.

Just tryin to help out. Good luck

Your not being a pain at all man, i appreciate the help. Nitrates are next to 0, and their gills are red. I keep a little aquarium salt in the tank at all times because they're still small, and they only get fed once/twice a day. It's gotta be somethin else.

Bring your TEMP. down to 80. Try another water change.

I think i found the problem. I tested the water out of my tap today and it is showing 1.0 Ammonia, and PH is 7.8 to 8.0........could this cause the gill irritation?
