Just because you can find links to something does not mean that it is the only way of doing something, or even correct;

BTW, none of your links mention the way I do water changes, or dealing with a larger system. All those links are basic beginner information.
unless that water is pretreated, similar temperature and settled for a day that is pretty bad practise as it weakens the fish and can kill otherwise healthy fish.
Many many others find no reason to do this. It would probably be best if you were to do some research into why in your particular situation you can’t.
Only because i'm paranoid I don't trust adding water directly, No reason or other direct need.
Logically adding lots tap water to a room temperature 'cold water' tank is fine, but changing the temperature on a tropical tank rapidly with cold water rapidly doesnt make much sense to me.
I only shop at proper aquariums I not getting advice from kitten store shops but aquarium stores where i ask how they care for their own fish. Which is what i try to follow 10% a week simple as that.
I don’t care how proper they are, they are a retail outlet and short term holding facility for fish. Start by asking them about line breeding to fix a strain, how certain traits are dominant or recessive depending on the allele they are associated with, and how this affects color expression and growth rate when crossing homozygous or heterozygous parents. They don’t deal with this; many members here do, and are way beyond these “proper” aquariums. We breed the fish you buy from these outfits, and know considerably more than these outfits.
I trust you do and value your input, i will heed you advice and ask more about the Not For Sale tanks the aquariums have for breeding their fish.
All I want to know are goldfish easier for you to keep than other fish?
Looking at your stocking as well as tank size I would suggest you try a daily 10% water change for a week, follow that up with some 25% daily water changes for several days, you should then be able to change water as often and as much as you like. I’ve kept all the species you list, though some are a bit difficult to decipher, and all have had large water changes, direct from the tap, with no problems.
Is this for the OP who has trouble with water quality?
as my fish have no current problems with water.
He's BAAAAAAACK
:stupid:
TRUCE DUDE!
GOLDFISH
Not a fan of them
Why don't you go and up on water changes and see how wrong you are
Like TOLAK said maybe you should find out why you can't make descent water changes instead of telling people they cant
EDIT:: ALSO, im not trying to argue its just .. if breeders tell you you're wrong and you don't believe them then i guess you won't believe the sky is purple
TRUCE
If you want truce stop flamebaiting
No arguments from me, just purely stated my personal experience, a belief and paranoid processes,
I basically revealed this is what I do 'what i do does not mean I'm forcing you to do it'
10% change weekly
40% monthly with preconditioned and warmed fresh water. (for tropical tank)
How does that equate to absolutely wrong, it seems close variation to the suggested change process.
