Tank Is Settling Down

[blackghostknife]

HI all

Now that my 100L tank is settling down, and the fish look healthy and happy, and I have done my frequent water changes so that the ammonia level can lower, it seems everything is now stable. Now my question is, How often should one clean the tank and take water out, and add new water?

What is the norm?

Regards

I do 50% a week on all my tanks, but if you're tank isn't fully cycled, you should test for ammonia and nitrite every day, and do a change the minute they get to 0.25ppm.

Yeah stunning fish , out of intrest what is the size of the tank its in? L/W/D?

 

[blackghostknife]

its .935mm (36.81 inches, lenght) by .335mm (13.19 inches, width) Depth ? but its a 100L tank!

Depth is from the top of tank to bottom

I would reccomend you get a bigger tank, as black ghosts get quite big, 24inches in the wild and ive seen them nearly that big in captivity, a good size tank is around 80gallons if not bigger,

I am working towards getting a bigger tank, but need the money first to maintain. I will get there one day.
