Usually you do a 30% changee once a month .Sometimes you can more frequently like 10% weekly if you have alot of fish . You wouldnt have to test the tank till about 2 weeks . You mainly wanna focus on the ammonia , nitrate and nitrite . Ya I’ve been reading about that online. The 2 goldfish are both very active and definetly seem to be enjoying their new extra space. The pleco is attaching to different sides of the tank which is a little different then it’s normal behavior in the other tank. I know that the pleco is more of a nocternal feeder, but in the other tank there was a little castle that he liked to hang out in. What kind of signs should I watch for to see if the pleco isn’t doing well in the tank? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/aquarium-question/255964)._
