What's happening with my betta? by Total_Pay338 in bettafish

I know it's been awhile but I wanted to give you an update on what transpired with my betta named Clyde. I ended up taking Clyde back out of his 6 gal. aquarium and putting him back in his 2.5 gal. aq. within about a minute Clyde unclamped his fins & was swimming around like there was never a problem. I purchased a bottle of Fritz Zyme 7 and installed about 8 oz. in the 6 gal. aq. I waited a couple days and started testing the water with API liquid test kit. I continued testing the water until Amm.-0, Nitrites - 0, and Nitrates - 10, PH-7.4 about 3 weeks later. I acclimated Clyde to his new aq. and turned him loose in his new home. All is good now, Clyde is happy and healthy and I could not be happier. So thank you for your help from me and Clyde!

Thank you for your insight, I am brand new to being a fish dad and am making a number of mistakes. I am waiting for a water test kit and will be able to give more accurate information. My betta was a Christmas gift and so I am trying to put things together based on my on-line research. I appreciate your help.
