I hope everything stays on track since my mom is sick of buying fish for me.

Does your filter have a bio-wheel? If it does its safe to change the cartridge part every 4-6 weeks. The bio-wheel should never be changed, but the cartridge is designed for mechanical and chemical filtration. The bio-wheel's sole purpose is to support the bacteria needed for the aquarium. Stick with the partial water changes, if you see any uneaten food on the bottom, cut back on the amount of food at each feeding or how often you feed.
I hope this helps.

I had one with a bio-wheel but it broke the first month I had it so I use a regular Topfin filter which is working like a charm.

Ok .

I was surprised my clown pleco survived because I read they are not really hardy

Sorry to hear you lost them, never change filter media unless its basically falling apart, we all learn from our mistakes

The clown pleco may have suffered also, but may end up with a shorter lifespan only time will tell,good luck with any new fish

Some fish that are suppose to be weak survive some extreme hardships. Speaks for his tenacity.

Lol I thought he looked like a Fred. My dwarf gourami looked like a Max so I named him Max.

I learned that with my oto's. I have one left and he was dead last night but came back to life this morning
