Fish Fanatic
I recently tested my 5 gal for Ammonia, and it came up as ~.15. when I tested the tap water it was 1ppm for ammonia. I know that my town uses chloramine in the water- is my test kit reading the chloramine as Ammonia, or is there extra ammonia in the water? How should I go about doing water changes if there is extra Ammonia in the water? My tank is HEAVILY planted and has one betta fish, it should be totally cycled at this point. it has been running for 3 months. I have seachem prime as a water conditioner, should that be enough to neutralize all the chloramines and ammonia so that the bacteria and plants have time to eat it all up? or should I do something else? I'm going to need a pretty easy fix, since I'm going to be giving this tank back to my high school once Covid is over, and I don't want to overwhelm my choir teacher.
