    Nitrites at 2 could be deadly.

    If you waterchanged all at once to get them to 0, then that would mean you did a 100% waterchange. That can also be extremely stressful. I would grab a bottle of prime, and limit waterchanges to 50%. If you need to do them twice a day, that is better than all at once.

    You also need to understand exactly why you have nitrites. (Uncycled tank, overfeeding, meds killed beneficial bacteria....etc). Getting them down is short-term, because you want to understand why they were there in the first place, and then act accordingly to attempt to fix that problem.

    It would also be helpful to add a little salt, as that can limit the absorption of toxins.

    I actually did the water changes in three times in one day and i think my issue was over cleaning my filter my Betta only eat the pellets or food i would give and did not leave a thing, she is alone and has many plants, i always check for melted leaves and clean the peace lilly roots so i really am going for the filter cleaning.

    And i really think that because all my other tanks are doing wonderful, and i set this one up with substrate from another tank and the drift wood to, i guess i shouldn't have cleaned the filter.

    I am learning thanks to all of you this was the best thing I have done was join this group again thanks for all your help.

    I am starting to understand many things about the hobby it is not like we where shown when we where growing up put it in the bowl and like it be.

  2. I took your advice and got a kit to check the amonia in the water for my Betta and here are the pictures I saw it was off so I did a water change put in some beneficial bacteria and checked again and i think it is better, what say you??

    The first pic was before the water change the second is after i think i still have a bite to go but i am not sure.

    I said i was giving up but i can't i love ally babies and i just couldn't give up we are fighters because I heard many dye in the first few hours of the spike.

    Nitrites at 2ppm could be why he's isn't eating they should be at zero  I would do daily water changes and add a double dose of prime to help detoxify any nitrites you can also add a small amount of aquarium salt that will help with any damage caused by the nitrites

    Did a water change nitrites are zero and nitrate are also zero

  4. No the water is not hard 60 ppm

  5. My Betta does not want to eat, i have offered different do d and did a water change, she is  swimming then stays at the bottom, the water is good temp is 79, has plants sponge filter, almond leaves, no faded color no notable things on her body i don't know what to do.

    This is my third time trying to have a Betta fish i don't know if it  is a petcock issue or what.

  6. Just got this i really want to ask if they are good i have any power outages and i think this is a wonderful option to run this better then the filters the tanks came with the power problems are more then i need

  8. Had a big power outage in Puerto Rico it was hard i had one d battery operated air pump and a rechargeable one and three tanks it was a challenge but one losses, i actually purchased two more d battery operated air pumps they are easier to deal with then the other one when you don't have a generator.

    Well that's all for now have a great week my friends.
