i ve been cycling my 5 gallons tank for 2 weeks and these are the readings
ammonia .25
nitrate 20
nitrite 1.0
when im fully cycled im planning on buying a betta...i really like this type of fish.......i havent done any water change...i have two real plants...gravel...everyday i add some flakes....i have a fluval 1 plus and a heater.....i was wondering how long do i have to wait so that i can buy my betta.........on monday my readings seemed to be better.....ammonia 0 nitrate 0 nitrite .5...is this normal?...can the ammonia go up and then go down?....
suggestions are welcomed
