The fish is still alive,... but...?

Should I keep changing the water every day?

As always, thanks in advance for any comments. =)

The tank is still smelly. I have been doing water changes everyday or every other day. I bought an apple snail yesterday. The Betta doesn't seem to be eating any of his food, but he's still swimming.

I bought a water testing kit. I already broke one test tube. =P Here are my results:

Ammonia = .25
Nitrite = .25
Nitrate = 0
pH = 7.4-7.6

Should I keep changing the water everyday or every other day, or should I just let it alone for a few days or a week?

Thanks!

I would keep doing water chnages until ammonia and nitrite are 0. How long ago did you set the tank up?

It's kind of a long story about how long the tank has been set up, but to cut it short, there has been a fish in there alive since March 16th.

I will keep doing the water changes. I was unsure if I was doing them too much becasue the nitrates are still zero. =P

Thanks a lot!

Oh yeah, a cool fact about my new apple snail; he looks like he has racing stripes. LoL! =D
