Good News??
Great to see thsat you finally were able to obtain some items to work with, for your fish. Before I go any further, I would just like to suggest your trading in those two Chinese Algae Eaters for Siamese Algae Eathers. The CAE’s can get to around 10″ long, and after they grow past the juvenile stage, they no longer eater algae — and generally become rather nasty towards their tank mates.
I tend to question the accuracy of your nitrite test kit, with your having that much of an overstocked tank. If this is accurate however, yoyr parameters look pretty good for maintaining your fish. While they could be better, such as having a lower pH, “don’t fix if it ain’t broken!” As long as your fish are comfortable and apparently doing well, do not attempt to change the pH. If you were to try this, almost invariably it could very well bounce, which would be detrimental to the fish in short time, depending on its frequency and severity. Your present buffering capacity to ensure its bouncing. Ray
