I was thinking the water from the LFS had high nitrates because water changes have no effect on the nitrate level. Last week I did 3 water changes one every other day. And it had no effect on nitrates.

If I feed the fish once every other day will they be ok?? They won't starve will they?

They tested the water they nitrates were over 20 but they said it was ok that I was worryng too much. They also said if I had been using Bacter Boost it would show false postive but I haven't used the stuff in weeks.
