Hey run a Google search for test kits. You should be able to find them for cheap. You also probably only need ammonia and nitrate to start with. (I know guys, it's better to get a full kit, but the budget isn't there.) Found one for $3 for ammonia. Looks like they may cost about $6 retail maybe. Well within a no budget.

Aquarium Pharmaceuticals 162 Ammonia Test Kit

$18 for a full API kit at www.walmart.com. Cheaper than buying the bottles one by one.

just because one tank is ok doesnt mean another isnt. time to explain to your mother why you need a test kit.

I think you can give any fish a pea. I have given it to my puffers as well. You just have to blanch it
