Nitrite-water change?

I stopped dosing ammonia maybe 3 days ago, however the nitrites haven’t budged. They’ve been the same deep purple for 4 days now, should I do a water change? How much?

Nitrite recommendations

Hi! My friend recommended me to stop dosing ammonia to the tank till nitrites are 0PPM. Currently nitrites are purple! The ammonia is getting processed 2-4PPM within 24 hrs aswell. Should I listen to him?

Am I doing everything right for my cycling axolotl tank?

These are the results, ammonia is going from 2-3PPM to 0.25-0.5 in 1-2 days now, nitrite is that deep purple still, and nitrate used to be almost RED, but all of a sudden it’s orange?? I haven’t done any water changes or added any pothos. Any tips on what I could do better? (Ph is 7.4) ALSO should I keep redosing ammonia? I’ve heard that since it’s purple still (nitrite) I should wait till it goes down before redosing.

My betta fish us having trouble swimming :(

Hii, my betta is having troubles swimming and I believe it’s swim bladder disease. Do I fast him for a few days till he’s swimming better? Here’s a video of him :( he’s at the bottom quite a lot right now.

Tank not cycling

It’s been so many weeks I haven’t even counted. An absurd amount of them. My test results with the master kit have been the same for weeks and I don’t know what to do. I’m adding seachem stability daily, I have the sponge filters running on max for more oxygen, I have live plants in the tank, the temperature is at 65 degrees I believe, (I don’t have a heater) and my axolotl is tubbed in a container right now while his main tank cycles. Anyone know what to do or what I’m doing wrong?

Axolotl eats forever

I’m feeding my axolotl pellets right now, (temporarily) and he’s eating so many 😭 he won’t miss a single one and idk when to stop feeding him.

Before, when I gave him some, he ate more then 15 and he only stopped because I stopped giving him some 😭 how do I know when to stop? When his belly is the same width as his head?

Axolotl won’t eat

I’ve been trying to feed my axolotl nightcrawler worms but he keeps spitting them out. He takes any other food, but just won’t eat these. I boiled them, then put them in a frozen bath, but he still won’t eat them. And he’s quite skinny so it’s worrying me right now, (also in the picture he’s in his temporary tub and it looks shiny but I promise it isn’t 😭 idk why it looks like that in camera.) also! I’ve seen people give them ENTIRE nightcrawlers instead of cutting them up to bite sized pieces. Should I do that??

Axolotl and tank cycling

My mother’s axolotl is clearly not happy in the 20 gallon he’s in, I moved him into a bucket (temporary) while his tank cycles. Is that ok?? I’ll change 100% of the water daily in his bucket and add prime ofc, until his tank cycles. I hope that’s okay?

Axolotl help

My mother has an axolotl but it looks sad and not proper?? I believe the water is above 68 degrees. This is what it looks like. I also believe the tank is not cycled.
