Shedding

[Maddymoo]

Did a 20% PWC today and these are the reading from the water tests i did afterward:

Ammonia 1.5mg/l
0.3mg/l

ammonia has gone down slightly but nitrates has risen slightly, is that ok? I was expecting both to fall

forgot to mention, the tank was cycled before i put her in it

For after a water change, your ammonia reading is quite high. Do you filter the tank? After filtration and a water change, you should not get any reading for ammonia or nitrite at all. When I saw the photo in your album I thought this was a young female... I would up the water changes and invest in a filter if you don't yet have one.
