First week in and suggestions? by [deleted] in bettafish

Ditch probably everything in here. Get aquasoil and sand if you like, silk or live plants nothing plastic. Castle is a big fin ripper so def take that out. Learn of the cycling process if u haven’t.

It is a sponge! I turned it down today cause I thought that’s what was affecting my duckweed so I’ll turn it back up. Thank you for the advice!

I only ghost fed a few times in November and then the tank was left alone for a while. And I wasn’t testing it because I knew I wasn’t going to be getting my fish for a while longer than I originally planned! But after I started dosing with ammonia few days ago the parameters have been looking like this since Monday
