My fish is happy and active in his three gallon heated tank. I have not done a full water change since I set it up a month ago, but do a water feast every 4-7 days. I have done partial changes.
He is super active and happy right now, and has a fancy bubble nest. He is eating well for the first time since I got him (eating well for a week now).
Today the water test said
Safe. No3 nitrate
Caution No2 nitrate
High total alkanity
Borderline between ok and high Ph
I am assuming it is time for a complete water change???
Seems wrong when he is so happy! Maybe he likes high alk.?
I want to have him healthy and alive, though.
please be kind with the advice, I am trying to do itr right this time ( after about eight Betta casualities in a small unheated tank - I came here to learn).
