Betta gills moving fast

hi for the past couple of days i noticed my betta has been moving his gills pretty fast and it laying somewhat on the ground. my water parameters are 7.6 ph, 0 nitrite, .25 ammonia and 0 nitrate.

 

Do a big water change with temperature matched dechlorinated water. Just in case. Hope it's nothing but check back in if you are still concerned.

could it be ammonia poisoning? under his gills it’s red but i think that is just his coloring. also can i wait until tomorrow because i am not home tonight

 

Well post a pic when you can and do a big water change as soon as you can. If you don't think you are cycled then yes, it could be ammonia toxicity. It could also be something else. Do you know where to find and fill out the emergency template to answer all the questions people will ask you anyway? If not, I'll post it here for you.
