my nitrite rose to .1 ppm

While it's never a really bad idea to do a water change just to be
conservative.... .6ppm ammonia is nothing. .1ppm Nitrite is less than
nothing. Both may exceed the 3-5ppm range while cycling and everything
will still be ok.

What can I do to help them get through the nitrite spike?
I don't want them to die by morning!

I've had nitrite spikes off the scale for multiple days during initial
cycling (that's at least 6ppm). I just did my weekly water changes and
everyone was fine.
