    these are way too high. nitrate should be below 10 and nitrite should be undetectable

    Has your tank cycled fully? most people dont get nitrites, unless your tank is goin through a cycle. These are hard to keep, especially if you dont have great water quality. I think they will likely die. You could of said that in the first place and avoided the earlier arguement. I lost a few when I started and havent really wanted to keep another.
