yeah, I have 7 full … yeah, I have 7 full grown oscars in a 5 gallon tank and I just do 75% water changes so it is ok. I know what I am talking about just like this lady. NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT there is no way you can keep really healthy fish with that many of them. In one of her previous videos she lost 19 fish in one tank due to new tank syndrome. Ammonia spike basically.Any experienced and knowledgable fishkeeper would know about the nitrogen cycle and would not make that silly beginner mistake.Dont listen to her
6. There should not … 6. There should not be any excess food left in the substrate, she is obviously overfeeding her tank.
7. Not only is her tank overcrowded with fish, most of the tank space is full of ornaments and plants.
8. The nitrate/nitrite levels in her tank must be pathetically high.
9. This Python system seems rather useless, what happened to a good ol’ bucket and gravel cleaner.
10. Her filter cultures would be dwindling with all the large water changes.
End
The Best water changes are little and often.
She is giving false … She is giving false information, the best advice you can get is from a REAL Aquatic store, not a pet store.
I would just like to clear some things up first.
1. 75% is a ridiculous amount for one water change, 50% is the limit.
2. For her to say she can get away with keeping 86+ fish in a 30g because she does such large water changes is a lie.
3. It is compulsory to turn off the filter and heater(not lights).
4. Her substrate is not thick enough.
5. Why waste hot water? Just use cold.
dude she’s way off. … dude she’s way off.. like seriously its better to not even listen to her vids..
25% is the best way to go for any size tank.
LMAO she even said to turn off the light to make it safer? shes WAY off..
75% wow I think … 75% wow I think thas to much, I usally change just the 25-30% of my aquarium water.
