Eek tank levels

[MommaK]

I have a 20l gal tank I just tested her levels and I'm at nitrite (~1.5)
nitrate (~3 ppm)
ammonia (~.75)
PH (7.6)
temp 63-64°
how do I fix it!!! Right now I have her out in some new water so I can fix her tank.

***Update: OMG she is a hoarder I found a stash of small piece of worm, some blood worms and some pellets so now I need to vaccume her tank and disturb her sand to get things cleaned up right?

Lol!! . yes axie can be a hoarder . All you have to do is just vacuum her food out , but don't clean all her sand cause that would kill good bacteria. Just that spot , while. Change her water drastically ( almost complete) just once. Maybe add some more of the quick start liquid to put more good bacteria back in. And keep watch.

Awesome thank you! That's essentially what I did... I cleaned a bit more of the sand (gravel vaccume just ran it back and forth a few time to get some of the lesser stuff... :kill:
