I have checked my ammonia it is 0 just to be sure because of the issues im having but I haven't had an ammonia spike in over at least 3 years. I have trying to get a better pic but haven't really had any success. He looks about the same but is eating well as long as my husband feeds him. The picky like thing refuses to eat for me. On a good note as long as there is no more suprizes he should be in his new home by Sunday
