My ammonia and nitrates spiked last week and I have been doing daily wanter changes. My ammonia is at .25 and my nitrates are at 5. I was told my cycle probably crashed and I need to take Chester out of the tank. I see here that I don't necessarily need to do that. Are my parameters low enough to leave him in?
 
When my bf and I see similar numbers we do a partial water change and have noticed that the ammonia drops and the nitrates stay around 5 so maybe try that first?

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
