Wow! So glad that I found YOU! My poor babies. Thank you, thank you!Sorry I meant chloramine
Yes Prime will tke care of it. It will still give a (false) positive ammonia reading on the API kit. For chloramine you should use double the recommended dosage of prime.
Yes very experienced vet tech giving great advice.My very experienced friend is actually a vet tech.
I find your comment rude. My best friend in the entire world is now blind and declining from Lupus. She is brilliant! She works with leading universities in aquatic research. She doesn’t live in Texas and because of her illness, I try not to bother her too much. Besides, she knows I know most of the basics that you have given me already. Most people know that changing 50% of water lowers readings by 50%. That’s 101 in aquatics. Anyway, My friend is on this forum but been too ill to post recently. Please be courteous when commenting. You never know where someone else is coming from.Yes very experienced vet tech giving great advice.
Seachem Prime is highly over rated, it will bind ammonia nitrate ans nitrite for 24 to 48 hours after which they will be released back into the water if not removed.
Why would chlorine and chloramine in the water affect ammonia?
Members please note.
If you have ammonia readings of 1 like the OP
25% water change will bring the ammonia levels down to .75
50% water change will bring the ammonia level down to.50
75% water change will bring the ammonia level down to .25
Who said he is suffering ammonia poisoning? That was your conclusion only
Not with Prime in there and water changes. Are you a vet? A number of people on here know Gypsy and would agree that she knows her stuff. @David1978, @Discus-Tang, @CanadianFishFan.I said your fish is suffering from ammonia poisoning because your ammonia reading is 1.0 that is very toxic to fish.

I’m sorry, I don’t understand.Now I see why you “left” the other forum...
Thank you so much. I do too!I am a new Betta owner and I think my two are less than a year old so I can't be of much help. I do admire you for trying to save him. If he's less than 2 years old I hope you can. Best of luck!
