Water Parameters in Betta Tank

[EGGBERT]

Hey Andy—have a brand new Q for u re the parameters of my Betta’s tank—everything (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate): 0… pH high: 7.6 or above.
I tested the nitrate w/two different kits—same result.
Any insight into why this ‘perfect’ (?) trifecta? Please advise.

Also, do u know of anyone on this site who is knowledgeable re SNAILS?

TY

You have live plants, they absorb nitrates. The thing is that it will depend on the types of plants as to how much ammonia they absorb. Just because they are keeping pace now does not mean they will in the future.
