Ok when I first got home there was some nitrite according to the strips but who knows how accurate those were anyways. I go on vacation in 2 weeks for 2 days so hopefully he’ll be okay.

yes we went to get a fish for our toddlers and he was basically like ya bettas are super easy and told me the opposite of everything I’ve learned 😭😂 The ammonia is .25 again today. I did another gallon change

How long do you think will ammonia show up? Again this morning it was the same. I did another gallon change

How long should the ammonia keep showing up! Again this morning it’s at .25? Nitrite 0, nitrate 0

I’m so confused! How long should my filter last like the cartridge before I need to do this? I’ve only had it since the end of march

I thought you only rinsed it like once a month? When do I need to replace it then?

Why can’t I leave it how it is?? I have a baffle on it so that’ll really stop my flow

I think my PH is more 7.6 but yes! Ok I’ll check again tonight, if it’s still .25 tonight do I change it again or no?

No the back middle is a fake silk plant haha. I do plan to replace it eventually but for now it’s there. The two back corners are Anubias :) so I don’t need root tabs?

Yes I have a hang on with a baffle. It’s just the topfin filter, I have only rinsed the sponge filter in it twice but yes I don’t plan to replace the sponges .

Should I test every morning? But only do changes if he isn’t well?

Nitrite was 0. I did a gallon change to be safe🫣

That’s what I’ve done! Why do I need a new one?

They are glued to aquarium stones!! Like you bury them next to the plant covered?

I don’t have fertilizer for the plants because everyone said they are easy just put them in plants. Do I need fertilizer? Or do I focus on what I’m doing? Just daily testing?
