Oh, his stats!
Ph: 7.2 (eternally so, no matter what I do it's always like that)
Nitrites: 0
Ammonia: 0
Nitrates and GH = my test kit doesnt include those tests, I'll buy them separately soon, but they're quite expensive here
Aquarium size: 20l (5 gallons)
Temperature: 30ºC (It's usually 26ºC, but I raised it since he got sick) - Thermostat always on
Filter: Aquaclear 20 (installed about 2 months ago), on 24/7
White light on during the day.
2 Boyu plastic plants (I'll buy silk plants as soon as I find them), 1 cylindrical "clay log" and 1 natural log (none of them are new in the tank) and natural gravel.
He lives all by himself.
The aquarium was cycled before I moved the fish into it.
He ate some more brine shrimp today and he's staaarting to look a bit better. About the antibiotics killing the bacteria in the filter, well, I'll have to cycle his aquarium again soon anyway, because I'll move to another apartment in a month or so, so I'll have to throw all the water away, and then it will be about time I buy a refil set for the filter, so... Now I'm thinking of using one of those products for instant cycling... do you recommend it?
This is the product I've been using since yesterday: http

Thanks for your help! I really, really appreciate it, on behalf of my first and dear betta!
