Alsooo, what got me on this site in the first place was an issue with my ADF. He was sick and died within a week. The whole reason I started having issues was after I changed the tank water and filter media. Is it possible that she caught something and that's why shes bloated it's been almost 2...

I'm hoping this is the last time I have to post here. I recently had issues with a nitrite spike but thanks to everyone's help here the tank is stable. I used filter media from a friends tank to kick start my cycle over again. So here's my current issue. Shes got a belly, a upward curve in her...

How do I change filter media without disrupting the cycle for next time?

Yes, I changed the filter cartridge. Is that what caused the spike?

The tank is 4 months old, but I cleaned everything at 80% after my ADF died about a week ago.

I did a water change at 80% yesterday like you said with dechlorinated water, nitrite remained the same after testing just now

I changed my bettas tank water recently after my ADF died, the tank stats were doing great for the last few days but today I came home to see a nitrite spike in my water. I read that its called "new tank syndrome". Nitrite was at 1.0 so I did a 30% water change and added a seachem PRIME which is...

Yes she does! I also have a little hollow rock and squidwards house in the tank. She loves them

This is my female betta, she used to have a very off white/pale pink body color and now she has a blue flush. It has calmed down since I've been gone. The stripes were very prominent and vertical

Shes a sorority fish so I figured being alone was new for her. But I'll just get another tank for my next frog, thank you!

Ohhh, and I clean the filter roughly every 3 weeks.not sure if that's excessive but I'm adamant of keeping a clean tank for her. I'm not sure what is in the filter but I know it has carbon rocks? It's the filter cartridge that goes with the filter system.

The filter I have came with the tank, it's an aqeuon filter. It's a little too strong for my beta so I have moss balls and plants that disperse the current a bit. I change the water weekly at roughly 30% and I've done full water changes twice. I use a dechlorinator (API) and often check the...
