fishgirl nitrAtes are fine at 20, its nitrItes that have to be 0. some say nitrAtes can go as high as 40 but alot of keepers woudnt alow them to go that high. 20 would be the highest i would let mine go be4 i worried to much. useually my nitrAte run at 5. also check your tap water for all your stats this will also pre-warn you if you are likely to have any probs. eg. if your tap water reads 20 nitrAte you wont get them below that in the tank without adding additives. also some nitrAte is needed if you are to keep live plants.
