I am on day 18 and ph just dropped down to 6.7 or possibly less!!!! How do I fix this??!?! Doing a fishless cycle and currently ammonia and nitrite are .50 and 2 ppm. Nitrates are going up cycle may be done soon but what do I do?!

My temp is at 78 degrees and I have a bad heater which I am about to replace. The new heater is a tetra 50 watt 2-10 gal heater that I just ordered from Amazon which should come soon. Today is the first fasting day and I will feed daphnia in a couple of days

The tank is a 5 gallon non planted aquarium with artificial plants and a cave hide. He is acting fine but I think he has clamped fins…his paremeters are ph, 7.4 ppm ammonia 0 ppm,nitrite 0 ppm and nitrates are 2 ppm. His tank is very clean and the tank has been set up for about since February. He has a topfinn silentstream filter. He had fin tear or something a while ago but I think he is fine now…Today is day 1 of fasting him and I have daphnia which I will try if this doesn’t work. Here is some pictures of him⬇️ He is super super fast! Sorry for not good pics….The last one is when I first got him. Water is low because didn’t used to know what I was doing!😩🙄 I have been doing some aquarium salt for a other issues he used to have. Should I add some today? Also I will get some better pics soon

I see. Every tank is different so mine might take a longer or shorter time than yours. The ammonia and nitrite are going down and when it does go to 0 I add ammonia and next day will be 0
-
It is possible I believe and when I see that they are gone do I add one more dose of ammonia @Pepere? It is my opinion that it is done but possible not but I never saw nitrates till yesterday so maybe! I agree. I used ammonia and bacteria and they say it will end between day 5-7 but that isNOT TRUE I know but maybe!
-
Cycle is almost fineshed right?ammonia has gone down from 4 to 1 ppm and nitrates are 20 ppm and nitrite 2 from 5 ppm. Today is day 15 and I hope it is finished!!!! Is it almost done?
-
Yes same. Thanks!

Best fishes for my water parameters?
Whitecloud09 replied to Supermassive's topic in General Discussion
I think so. If u are getting a certain fish u can see what they’re water parameter needs are.That’s why I 100% recommend the white clouds because u basically don’t have to worry about the paremeters but u need decent paremeters -
Best fishes for my water parameters?
Whitecloud09 replied to Supermassive's topic in General Discussion
I recommend white cloud minnows as they can live in a wide range of parameters. U can prob go with 10-15 of them for a 20+ gal.They do great with Cherry shrimp too Just make sure ph is between 7 and 8 I mean 6 and 8 -

Severe fin rot on Betta - new hobbyist needs help
Whitecloud09 replied to VioletT's topic in Diseases
It appears that his scales was originally like that…but u said he was loosing his scales…He should get better but be patient it can take some time. I definitely know from experience I agree…you can get some quick start which can help with the cycle but u should just do a fish in cycle -
Severe fin rot on Betta - new hobbyist needs help
Whitecloud09 replied to VioletT's topic in Diseases
No stress coat is definitely a good idea. U can double the dosage on bottle for it to replace slime coat on your betta. It says this on the bottle. More water changes and continued treatment is all u can do. He prob will heal with time. What is your water parameters? Do u have any aquarium salt? That definitely helped my sick betta. I recommend fritz aquarium salt if u don’t have any and if u do have some aquarium salt definitely use it! Also what was his original colors when u bought him? -
Do white cloud minnows need hard or soft water?
Whitecloud09 replied to Whitecloud09's topic in General Discussion
Yes it is empty (animal wise) what do u mean by installation?? Ok! What do u mean by pail? U mean add them to a bucket and drip acclimate them? If it was between 5 degrees off and ok I will just let them sit for 30 mins and every 5 or so mins I can add water right? Cool fish!!!! I like those ones with wings basically! -

Severe fin rot on Betta - new hobbyist needs help
Whitecloud09 replied to VioletT's topic in Diseases
I have had this experience I mean the SAME because I didn’t do the cycle. First fish died within a month(betta fish) second betta had fin rot as well and I did bettafix and I did fin and body cure.I have personally figured out that liquid treatments don’t help to much as when I used bettafix it didnt do anything. But u definitely did this right and saved your bettas fins! Nice job! It looks very good now! Happy fishkeeping from now on! I would maybe keep doing often water changes though And feed him healthy foods! -
Do they need hard or soft? First time getting these boys and I’m going to get 6.

Yes! I did try that after one time and it worked!Thanks -
Yes.I have been emailing do Tim’s Aquatics for passed several days and I told hime about the kh and gh being a little low and he said that means longer cycles and told me to do a 33% water change but DONT disturb the substrate…..I add declaranater to the new water right??Because I thought about stress coat will kill ammonia right????? I am prob wrong but first time doing the “fishless” cycle sooo…..
-
Yes I found out about the fishless cycle only like a couple months ago because I have been doing fish keeping for just a little over year now!
