Good advice from Reduce Reuse Hamcycle. I`m guessing that the 100% water change has had a negative effect on your Betta Enh98 and doing what has been advised might help using the small cup and exchange method. If he`s sank to the bottom of the tank, he won`t be able to breath air as bettas are supposed to? So perhaps helping him by doing the floating cup near the surface thing might help?

I read quite a bit about water cycling when I was thinking about keeping fish and most of the advice/tutorials I read were always relating to half or partial changes which keeps the tank with a remaining amount of good flora without removing it all and upsetting that natural balance. I had no idea keeping fish could be so technical! Which is why I didn`t bother persuing it. x
