Hi Im New
OK. It’s very important that you take those fish keeping tutorials and read the articles on Cycling With Fish since that is what you are stuck with doing right now.
Without your own test kit, you will have to either get your water tested daily and/or do preventative 25% PWC’s (partial water changes) daily, use Prime as your dechlor, which also helps to detoxify ammonia and add a pinch of salt per 10G of water to help prevent nitrite poisoning.
Having your own Master Test Kit would make your life and your fishes lives much easier so you would actually know what’s going on with their water and the nitrogen cycle in the tank.. rather than playing a guessing game.
The colors on their tests should still be related to some kind of numbers on their color charts… although I have seen some really bad dip sticks that just say OK, Good, Bad or something non-descript like that.
