Aquarium Advice Apprentice
i have been doing a fish-in cycle for a couple of weeks now with a betta and snail in a filtered 5.5 gallon tank. i have gotten to the point where my ammonia stays at zero and my nitrItes are sky high. i have been getting readings of 5.0 with my freshwater master test kit from aquarium pharmaceuticals.
last night i did a 40 precent waterchange and today it is still at 5.0.
if i am not mistaken this is deadly? do waterchanges even help with nitrIte? how much do i need to change? seems like waterchanges are not doing anything.
i have not been feeding for a couple of days due to the high nitrIte level.
not sure what to do, help please
