lol im not gonna do a w/c every ***en day, i have a life too... one 40% w/c a week is what im scheduled to do. i just want to keep 2 Oscars in my 120 gallon.

the point i was trying to make is that you can keep them in as small as they can move around in so long as you keep the water within params. you wouldnt have to do daily water changes, you could do 10-15% weekly until the fish got some size on them. only change as much as you need to, as the fish get larger change more water. do a higher percentage, it only takes a couple minutes longer, or schedule in a second w/c in a week. i am a w/c nut but i dont even do daily changes.

there is no point because no one that has a life will do that... im referring to ur first statement about the daily w/c. u just changed the subject by stating, the 10 - 15 % thing. everyone knows water parameters are important to manage.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
