Is changing my aquarium water too much bad?
is changing aquarium water too much bad for my goldfish?how about too much oxygen?
since ive seen a slight problem with its swimming. it swims sideways sometimes and tends to float up?
but its not that bad for now. i believe it might be the beginning of swim bladder disease?
what else causes it and how can i cure it from getting any worse?
im changing 20%-40% whenever i have nothing to do (every 5 days)
Short answer, no. I know a bristlenose pleco breeder that changes 25% daily, both in her BN and discus tanks. Her tanks are gorgeous and have been the entire eight or so years I’ve known her.
Disrupting the cycle comes from not matching the temperature closely enough or forgetting dechlorinator(In a very few cases, too big of a difference in pH. Very rare.). VERY little nitrosoma and nitrobacter bacteria(the good stuff) is free floating, over 90% is in your Filter Media(the pad in a HOB, sponge and/or bio-balls in a canister). It needs a surface to grow on(the filter media) along with food and oxygen(provided by the flowing water in the filter). Unless you have an under gravel filter, very little is in the gravel because there’s not enough oxygen or food flowing through it, it needs flow, or it will starve.
