How big Water changes should i do?

[GS1981]

my 6" Flowerhorn is in a 4ft 70g by himself (fluval vicenza 260) filtered by a Fluval 305 external filter.

Currently i am changing about 25% of his water weekly, how big do you think i should do for him? i'm feeding him once sometimes twice a day on Hikari Cichlid Gold and once a week on a piece of Prawn/Krill/Mussel or Blood worm.

40%-50 if you want him to get big fast

Use a hose and connect it to a siphon which you can get at local fish store.. Changing water shoudn't be a hassle..
I do 80% of wc every week..

Thats a horrible reason to sell a big tank!

Just spend $50 and get a python or aqueon water changer that hooks up to the sink.

It is literally as easy as turning on/off a knob.

I never even heard of or seen one of these things, what do they look like? the python things? would love to make my water changes easier

It will change your life!

They are just a normal gravel vac with 25-27 ft vinyl tubing with an adapter that hooks up to a sink.

open the valve to drain your tank, close the valve and turn on sink/hose to refill, easiest thing aside from an automatic water changer.
