Just can't seem to get my ammonia levels in my 2 cycling tanks to zero out. They both are a consistent .25. The other parameters for both tanks are 0 nitrItes, 5-10 nitrAtes. The 10g has now been fish in cycling for a month & has 1 Betta & 1 snail, I feed the Betta once a day 4 pellets & drop an algae tab 2 times a week for the snail. The 46g has been fish in cycling for 3 wks has 3 Bettas, 2 CAE's & 2 snails the Bettas are fed 4 pellets each once a day & 5-6 algae tabs are dropped 2 times a week for the snails & CAE's. I also once a week the last couple of weeks have put a slice of zucchini in the 46g. So, am I over feeding or is the ammonia reading pretty much normal at this phase? Suggestions on doing anything different or am I being impatient? I did a 50% water change on both tanks yesterday.
