I just did a 75 percent water change, still have ammonia. Does it look the same way to you? I know it may look a little different from phone recording. I just want to know if it looks like I have ammonia, or not. I have a hard way of telling.
From your previous posts we determined your tap water was treated with chloramine. Chloramine is ammonia bonded with chlorine. Everytime you do a water change you will be putting ammonia into the water which will show up in your test.
Your water conditioner is a type that detoxifies ammonia until it is cycled out . Retest 24 hours after your water change, after which your cycle should have removed it. See if it still tests for ammonia after 24 hours.

Under different circumstances that may work here but with the amount of chloramine in her tap water, she'd only be exacerbating the nitrate creation which is why she's changing so much water. Based on bioload, 15%-20% weekly is more than adequate IME.75% water change is a lot. 50% weekly should be more than enough and is the general consensus for those who change water in the hobby.

I just added some Aquarium salt to my bettas tank. I also have other Melifix and Prime-fix. Should I add that to, or just use Aquarium salt?
