I have a pair of bettas in their own 3/4 gallon vases. I bought them before I knew all about the whole nitrogen cycle, heaters and filters. I was assured by the guy at the petstore all they needed was a bowl to live in. Now I know better. Since then I have felt guilty about makeing them live in a "toxic wasteland" that everyone says fish in a bowl live in. So I never bothered to test the water. For kicks and giggle though I decided to finally test it, and suprisingly it wasnt that bad. Amonnia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 20 Ph 6.6. That makes me feel alittle better about making them live in the bowls till I can get them a tank. The water test raised a couple questions for me though. Why is it that I use the same water for both the bettas and my 2 tanks, and the Ph for the bettas is 6.6 while the Ph for my 55g and 10g are both at 7.2? My secound question is what will be the best to aclamate the bettas to the higher Ph When I get their new tank set up?
Thanks,
