Water changes

A lot of it depends on you stocking load, filtration and if you have live plants.

Twice a week certainly won't hurt them, as long as the tank is cycled the water change is mainly to dilute nitrate, i do twice a week water changes to keep the phosphate levels down to stop BBA from taking off.

Also a good opportunity to trim and replant cabomba, watersprite and ambulia in my tank.

    Whereas I rarely do water changes at all!

    Generally speaking, it is usually recommended you do 10% weekly or 20% fortnightly, but as said, it depends on your fish and stocking levels.
