Have a 10 gallon tank for about a month. Ammonia spiked and lingered for
2
weeks, then nitrites spiked, ammonia went down 4 days after that. And now
my nitrites continue to be high with no signs of going down. I mean off
the
charts. I've been doing small water changes to ease pressure on the fish
(10%). One of my Platties is getting white spots on her tail (I thought
the
ich was gone), and I'm moving in one more week. If I had known I was
going
to move before I got the tank, I would have waited to set it up.



Tell me about your filtration. I.E., what kind, etc. Have you changed the
filter media? (don't) How many fish are in the tank? (Don't add any).
Continue the small water changes, good job on that.
If you can get the cycle finished up in the next week, moving shouldn't be a
problem with a tank that small provided it's not a very long distance.
