First pic is nitrate and second is ph. Ammonia and nitrite are reading 0.
I bought 6 guppies, two of each variety.
One died because it became stuck behind the background I managed to free it and block any access to the background. Even though it seemed ok at first, stress took over and I moved it back to the quarantine tank, it died about 12 hours later. Now the other matching guppy is acting odd, staying in one place of the tank and sometimes resting on the gravel, compared to the other 4 fish it is hardly moving.
I've spoken to the store I purchased them from and they suggested my water parameters could be off, mainly my ph level.
Now I'm concerned I'm reading the test result wrong as I do really struggle with them. The nitrate looks orange in real life, between 5.0ppm and 10ppm. The ph looms like it's either 7.8 or 8.0.
What do you think?
