I agree except nitrite looks about .25 to me. Not really the baby blue 0

I would say nitrite in that periwinkle color is closing in on .25. If there are fish in the tank it’s time to do a water change. It’s hard for me to tell what ammonia is - it actually does look a bit greenish to me but it could be lighting.

I just did a water change last night. Should I do one again? I’m new to betta’s so I didn’t know if that would stress him.
