Is It Too Often

[sic0198]

Is it too to often to vacuum and do a water change your tank everyday or is it over kill. The stock is 4 female bettas and a BN pleco, The tank is 20 gallon high, maybe 38 US gallon I don't know which I'll get. Could be a 29.

On a new, cycling tank that is the best way to go about it.

On a mature/cycled tank, probably over-kill, though you wont do any harm, what percentage of the water do you change? 20-30% a week should suffice.

I would have thought vacume once a week and perhaps a 20% water change twice weekly should suffice.
