I've had this betta for about a month. Took an internal filter from a different established tank and did daily water changes for the first week as the tank established. Haven't had any issues since so I don't think there's a problem with the cycle. Tank setup is a 2.5gallon heated with a 25 watt...

Nitrates are 0 still.

I'm currently 14 days in and I still haven't seen any Nitrite? Is there something I'm doing wrong? I need to do 40% water changes every other day to keep ammonia below 1.0PPM

It doesn't seem possible to me that the Stability kills bacteria, and I've been dosing it daily for the past two weeks so it can't be because the bacteria from the bottle died.

None. It's now day 14 and I still have 0 Nitrites and Nitrates. I shook the bottles really hard and for a long time to make sure the reagents were well mixed.

I started my fish in cycle last Saturday and began dosing Seachem stability. I tested the water on Tuesday after a water change on Monday and ammonia was around 1.0-2.0PPM. Today I tested the water after a water change yesterday and ammonia is around 0.5-1PPM. However, my nitrites are still 0...

I happen to have some Seachem Stability on me right now. Would that work or should I go buy some TSS tomorrow?

I don't have any Dr Tims. Any other alternatives?

Should I be cleaning my filter while changing the water once per week or would this hurt the BB too much?

I just did 50% about 5 hours ago and I tested the water with the API Freshwater kit and I still have 1.0PPM of ammonia and my fish is acting unusually. Not much movement. Should I do another 50%?

The filtration medium won't be compromised because the filter is still running, right? If so, that plan sounds good. I guess I'll just make sure the water temps are matched really well.

You'll need to get rid of the pleco soon as it will grow too big. Otos are similar but are much smaller and more appropriate for a 20g. If you want to keep it for now, I wouldn't recommend buying anymore fish as your stocking is quite high already. Maybe add 3 more of the barbs so they have a...

An emergency as in Ammonia levels are very high even after doing a 50% PWC.

So I'll be buying a lot of bloodworms I guess since I have no snails Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So it's ok to only feed them bloodworms? How much? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So just the normal 2 times a day feed them bloodworms and pond snails? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So basically they don't want pellet/flake food? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
