She's active here and there especially when I approach the tank. Today I fed her a single flake to see how her appetite was. You'd think I starved her for a week the way she darted at the food lol. No appetite issues.No worries! I'm not sure about the pH, @Ch4rlie will know more I'm sure. If the pH has stayed the same though, she's probably used to that pH and not causing the stress now, while her symptoms do fit for ammonia poisoning, and it makes sense since you were keeping ammonia levels in the tank for a while.
Not your fault, it's so easily done, and cycling is confusing, and mini cycles too - going through a frustratingly long mini cycle in one of my tanks now because I had to replace the filter, I feel the pain!
Have seen fish looking much worse off than yours recover, she looks pretty good still. How is her activity now? Is she still eating?
Ahh!! I'm really sorry you're going through a mini cycle!! It's really is tough *sighs*. We can do it! Even if it is confusing, I'm glad people like you are on this website to give good advice despite your own struggles!
