nitrates are a bit too high. i know that isn't so good but it is better than having you nitrites that high? the nitrates should be kept under ten after you get them down. i have to say, i have had bad experiences. when i was a total noob at this, i had cycled my tank with soem bacterial junk called cycle and added my fish after a week. when i finally got the sense to get the testing kits my nitrite was about 56 my nitrate were over 100 and my ammonia was zero. the only losses ive had amazingly was 1 oto a long time after and 1 glassfish because i had poured water in for a water change and it's spine went wonked and it looke like this: Z. no joke. then it died a few days after.
