Hi all, I have a new 2.5 g tank set up w/ 1 betta, and a 10g with one betta 3 dwarf frogs. The tank, I believe, has begun it's cycle. The ammonia levels have gone up to .5 tops, and then I've been changing about 25 - 50% of the water and bringing the ammonia back down to 0 - .25. The Nitrites and ph are testing normal in both tanks. Is there anything I should be aware happening in the next few weeks to know I'm on the right track?
Also, my betta in the 2.5 didn't seem to be AS active yesterday when I got home from work. The ammonia was between .25 and .50. Then I siphoned the bottom and changed about 50% of the water and then 50% again. I think he may be a little better, but still not like he was when I had the dwarf frogs in there a couple days ago. Could this be because of the ammonia?
