You doing pretty much all you can. Just don't over feed and pollute the water. Prob a partial change twice a week.

[bir123]

I doing 50 %daily

[1NZ-FE Powered]

Years ago Jack Wattley did an experiment where he separated a spawn into two batches and fed them the same. The only difference between the batches was that one batch had 100% water changes daily as opposed to the 50% he normally did. From his observations he saw that the batch with more frequent water changes grew faster than the other batch.

[AGENT RORO]

Twice a week?
You should be making at least 35% water changes daily

[Kasey]

Ishtropicals for all ur flower horn needs

yea buh for how he does breed his own, and specialise in it, you think he would have also had the best prices, but I find he kinda expensive like hell.

argh, The man imports his, and its $300-$400 for red dragons. Got mine from him and was pleased.
Try getting a FH for less than $500 anywhere nuh

fellas, i have a 3 ft freshwater tank with a couple gouramis, sharks n zebras.
did a partial water change about 5 days ago and the water turned cloudy and green.
continued with partial changes (approx. 50%) for two consecutive days after that, together with blacking out the tank.
the tank is still in the same condition.
any advice?

[madman_devin]

What kind of water did u use to do the water change ?

[Halfbreed07]

Tank prob crash, Chk your filter media.

One of my green terrors laid eggs.

[crazy2NR]

What kind of water did u use to do the water change ?

i used tap water that that was stored in a tank.

and Halfbreed07 the filter is in pretty good shape.

[Halfbreed07]

Any meds in the tank, did you disturb the substrate, when last you did a large WC like that. I still think the beneficial bacteria has died. I'd say only do 25% changes every other day, or do an ammonia test to see if it has spiked.

[Cantmis]

Got a tank that has some scale build up. Read that vinegar and a razor blade should work. Is this the only option?

[Halfbreed07]

vinegar diluted and a new pot scrub

[Cantmis]

Got it cleaned! thanks.
