Sorry to hear that your male dwarf is not eating. I know how stressful that can ber

You do want your nitrites to be at zero just like your ammonia. (Higher nitrates is OK). I believe cjm3 is right, that this tank is still going through the ammonia/nitrite/nitrate cycle. Maybe try adding one of the chlorine removers that also states that it temporarily lowers nitrites until you tank is fully cycled (can take up to six weeks). Do small water regularly changes as well until you find that both your Ammonia and Nitrites are running at zero.

Best wishes to you
