Do you guys/gals believe in ICP testing when first starting. I know those tests can add up quickly but is It worth it at first? I assume it's good when you notice issues as well.

Not a new tank

You need an ammonia source. Get a shrimp from the grocery store and drop it in for 24hrs and remove it.

 

[Katrina71]

Your rock will be fine. It'll take a couple of weeks to balance out.

 

[Katrina71]

There are faster ways to remove it, but...I don't

Think I might be losing my betta “baby girl” soon, she’s about 2 years old. Noticed something was off when she didn’t come to the middle water column when I turned on the lights. She’s not moving from the bottom of the tank. Temps around 67, bumped it up to 70s. 50% emergency water change, dechlorinater added. Hoping she pulls through the night but she’s lethargic and staying bottom

My Bettas do that frequently but keep an eye on her just in case. Mine will act that way but respond to food, but you know your fish, I don't.
