Thanks for the response! This morning it looks like the ammonia is closer to 0.25 PPM. :) Also there seems to be another rabbit snail baby in the tank!

Thank you. I hope it is helping. At this point, should I do a water change currently or wait to see if the ammonia rises any more?

Hi, I have a 20 gallon tall tank. I've had it running for a little over one month now with some snails and one small goldfish. I also have anubias, hornwort, anacharis, and java moss in the tank. I have about ten stems of pothos hanging over the side as I heard the roots will suck up nitrAte...

Nice betta! You should try adding some live plants, I am sure he would enjoy them very much so! :)

Try checking your filters to make sure they are not blocked with debris. I know with my Aquaclear, the plastic cage that holds the sponge and charcoal that the bottom will get blocked with green algae like substances, so I rinse that part off.
