twice ?

I only change my WC 20% twice a week and 1 x 100% WC every month.

I have 5 x 3" Ranchu inside a 50L tank.

i change my water twice a week, 100% each, making sure that the wall of my tank is scrub clean and cotton change a week.

Simple rules go a long way in keeping goldfish.

I only make 40% water change once per week or two, I've never seen any problems with mine, but, everyone's got their own ways of doing things I guess .

You can choose not to make massive water change that often, thus it is more like "up to individual". If you plan to upkeep your fishes to its full potential, then regular WC is a must. So it depends on the hobbyists himself on what he want to achieve in this hobby.

I am trying to follow this method but sometime I go overboard with WC as I change 100% water every 2 days whenever the need arise.

Hi,

Sorry for digging up an old thread...

With regards to 100% Water Change, how about PH swing?
