    How high are they? I wouldn't let them get above 30-40.

    Maybe check them before bed and then upon waking. Leave yourself enough time in the morning to do a water change if necessary. Good luck with everything.

    Only if they rapidly continue to rise, but I would like to think it will even out. Such a small fish shouldn't cause that much havoc on 90 gallons. If it does get worse, you might have some other issue...possibly filtration????

    Fish dissolve very quickly so if you didnt catch him in a day he is long gone. it is probably the reason for the spike, if your tank is well established your bio should absorb it pretty easy..
    Sorry for loss : /

    I would wait a week and then do another water change if the problem doesn't go away. If you find any bits of the fish just pull them out so they don't contribute to the problem. Maybe run a little carbon as well.
