My girlfriends 2.5 gallon freshwater tank is going down fast. The Nitrites are off the scale, the Nitrates are 80, ammonia is at .5, the only thing that's close to right is the PH and that's at 7.2. I know detritus and uneaten food can account for the Nitrates being so high, but I also know she doesn't overfeed. She hand feeds each fish. She has a beta in the tank, I know they are dirty, but that dirty? I think not. Could her tank be cycling? it's been up for over two weeks, so I'm thinking not, but my only experience is marine reef systems, and I'm very on top of all that.
Please help.
Oh, LOL the tests she's using are the strips. She didn't want to do alot of work, I told her it'd pay off but she didn't listen. I'm thinking new tests may be the trick. She did a water change yesterday.
