Quick question! How often do you do a water change in 10gal?

[DizzyJenny]

And what percent? Tank is well cycled and has been set up over a year but starting new fish. Will be 3 ghost shrimps, 6 neons and 1 betta.

Thanks so much!

Or maybe just the shrimp and the betta if he's a grumpy Gus :)

I usually just do weekly 25% with a gravel vac on my cycled 10 gallon tanks. Best way to tell is to test your nitrates and see what readings you are getting by the end of the week.

I do 10% water changes once a week or 20% once every two weeks. I noticed that for my tank if I did a larger percentage my cycle would get messed up and I'd get cloudy water (bacteria bloom) for about a week.

I do 30% weekly changes on my 10 gal tanks. I'll do a larger one if I know the next water change will be delayed by a few days. One tank is pretty heavily planted, but the other isn't. I tend to do closer to 20% on the heavily planted tank.
