that's a lot of bio load for a relatively small tank. even if you halved your stock and doubled up on your water changes you'll probably be still way off the mark.
I don’t think 25% water change in a week is enough. Plus don’t know how often is he eating it.I would likely do 50%wc twice a week. Check the water and then adjust according to what your nitrates are assuming the tank is cycle.
No such thing as too much. Tank is heavily/over stocked. I agree I would up it to twice a week 50%. Personally
I have a 75 g with 6 fancy gold fish. by Saturday the water is dirty I do a fin high WC, I'm thinking thats not even enough for my tank. I can just imagen how dirty your water is. up the water changes. if I was you i would do 75% every 3 days
I normally do 30%-40% every other day.
So to me 25% per week is a drop in the bucket.
Think of it this way, freshwater fish are constantly urinating (thru gills) so the more water changes you do, the more you are diluting urine, the less you do, the more you are turning your tank water into a strong urine soup.
