Hi everyone! I just purchased my first betta (male veiltail) a couple of days ago and have some questions about water changes. I currently have him in a 5-gallon Aqueon mini bow tank with filter. I did some research on water changes, but I am still a bit confused. Some people say to do complete water changes every week, while others say this can potentially kill your betta. Others say to do 25%-50% water changes every week and to never do complete water changes. So what is the best way to do water changes? All recommendations are appreciated! :smile2:

Here's great instructions for cycling your tank

The only thing I would do differently is do a water change every time ammonia and nitrite reach 0.25 instead of letting it get to 0.50
