I have a week-old ten gallon tank containing 5 rosy barbs, 3 long-finned rosy barbs, a few tiny feeder fish, a small female crawfish, and a 5-inch spotted bullhead catfish. All the fish are happy and healthy so far, and no one has succumbed to "new tank syndrome."
I know this tank is slightly overstocked, but I like it that way for aesthetic reasons. I feed Omega One shrimp pellets, Wardley Total SpectraMax, TetraMin tropical flakes, and a few bloodworms here and there. I have a Whisper 10i internal power filter, a nice piece of driftwood, and some silk plants (I've never tried keeping live plants). I've been using Cycle, and Seachem Stability (similar to Cycle, used as a new tank stabilizer).
So I suppose my question is, in order keep my levels proper, how often should I do a small water change (5-15%)? Once a day? A few times a week? Once a week?
Thanks for your input
