Cheers guys... Doing 50% changes each with prime

Righto back home now... Took water to be tested and yes nitrites were horribly high fter a w/c last night. Fish guy gave me water from his tank (2yr old tank) to water change mine again and a little bottle of prime.. He said a couple of drops in a 28l tank.. Is this enough?

Cheers.. Ill get the parents straight on it til i get back!

Im not at home right now but i had readings for at 0 for 3 days.. Probably didnt leave it long enough. Parents thought itd be ok to add as the because of this.. Ive been away and they added fish as a surprise. Rookie error on thier part! Im guessing it was only partway through the cycle. Im...

ill add the shrimp first then I guess.. when its cycled. they can grow and get established. im guessing if i do this fish food is fine for them?

thanks both of you! Yeah Id never add fish before cycling.. even if it does take a while. my friend has a massive tank and she cycled for 3 months before she was happy! So now thats been sorted... patience til the tanks sorted :-)

Thank you! Im sure I will!!

thanks.. ive seen amanos in a shop selling bettas.. a couple of bettas had shrimp in with them so that could be promising. What would you suggest stocking wise? Thanks for your help.. Ive owned pretty much every pet possible so I want to make sure my fish is happy too!!
