It's easy.. I've stopped using buckets a couple of months back and I'm changing 80% of the water in my tanks everyday. 100 gTank 1 day 1.. 56g tank 2 day 2.. 100 gallon tank 3 day 3.. repeat.. I learnt the bucket less siphoning technique from YouTube..

IF THE FISH ARE SMALL IN SIZE..you don't have to rehome any of them right away.. keep the current stock for about a month or two.. like a grow out tank.. but keep changing at least 50 % of the water every three days.. don't worry about how big theyll get right now.. after a month or two pick...

I think the frequency of water changes depends on the ease of doing it. I change 80% of the water in my 55 gallon every morning because all I have to do is turn on and turn off the tap a couple of times to pull the water out and refill the tank with fresh water. And it takes about 15 minutes. I...

1. No need for fancy 'fish medicines' . Sometimes just normal and cheap antibiotics can do the job (eg. metronidazole). Unless you don't get them without prescriptions in your country. 2. Beware of submersible filters. Sometimes they malfunction and heat up. I've had heaters that take water...

I think.. a lot of people like to keep all the fishes they can lay their hands on in one tank.. at least for the first couple of years .. it is only after learning from such forums and losing out on fish that some of us learn the right way to go about it.. so while some learn the art of stocking...

Over stocking is one problem.. monthly water change is the other.. if you want those many fish in that tank then you need to do a minimum 50% water change every third day while siphoning the gravel each third time.. so that's 10 water changes a month.. if you have the python or are using the...

Long back I had a couple of tiny African cichlids disappear overnight.. found them inside my overhead filter pipe.. dead of course.. they got sucked in.. one by one.. I could figure that out because my filter outlet wasn't throwing any water out..

I've got white stones in both my 100 gallon tanks. In the past few weeks I have been changing about 80g of water twice a week without siphoning the substrate. I siphon once in three weeks as compared to once every 7 days which I used to do earlier. Is that ok or will the substrate junk...

Thank you
