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.

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

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.
