Not sure what this is?

[stonecreek1]

Good evening everyone. I would like some help with a mother small issue that I don't know about. I was able with the the help of everyone to get my water chemistry on target. But I have had in the last several days several babies start to float or sick to the bottom and are gasping for air. I have no idea what is wrong. I have read and read threads on here so here is what I did. I tried my best to get a scrap and look under microscope. I will attach a a pic tho I don't know exactly how to take a pic real well through a little lens. But what I see is something that almost looks like a finger print. Any suggestions?? They still have been flashing and some seem to just hang at the top of the water not wanting to move around much. Do they possibly have a parasite?? Just an FYI: the Ph is 7.8
Ammonia 0
Nitrite .25
Nitrate 0
Thanks for any help!!!

Nitrite level is too high. Zero is best, 0.01 mg/L is tolerated.

Do you think I should add another teaspoon of salt? It has come down tremendously since last week. Is was 2-4 last week.

You could add one more teaspoon of salt but stop with that. The pond is apparently cycling as it should. You should begin detecting Nitrate sometime next week.
