Default Re: Help with betta fish!

Assuming Fishy (my son named him) doesn't make it we will get another betta....especially after all the money invested! What is the proper way to cycle the tank before getting the fish? I read conflicting things online and of course pet shop employees aren't so helpful. This forum has been so wonderful in giving me advice to deal with this situation while not judging me for my lack of fish knowledge! As an update, I tested the water with the liquid test kit and all levels checked out good. pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. I removed the carbon thingy from the filter (but kept the filter running) and added the treatment for fin rot. He's laying on his side breathing through his gills. Poor guy.
