Recommended water changes ?

Hi,

I have 2 tanks, 50l with about 10 cherry shrimp, 5 x-ray tetras, 1 cory and 1 apple snail.
100l with 8 shubunkin, 2 corys, 1 pleco and 3 apple snails.

What would you recommend for water changes in the 2 tanks in terms of how much and how often?

Had some shrimp dying lately so im concerned about it.

Currently I do 10% every Tuesday in both tanks.

Too much, too little? I don’t know
Still new at fishing

Thanks guys

 

Hi Tiaanctaljaard.

I can't really tell you if that is right or not but I can tell you what I do with my fish tanks.
I change water between 15%-20% every Sunday, but also I have a lot more fishes in each
tank and they are 3ft tanks. I have shrimp only 1.5ft tanks and do the same on 15%-20% water
changes and don't see often that fish or shrimps die on me. I have noticed my shrimps breed more
this way though.

Because your shrimps is with some fish especially X-ray's they might get stressed if you don't
have enough hiding space for them.

Also when you do water changes is it aged water or direct tap water? If it is direct tap water
just check the Chlorine and Chloramine of the water. It can harm your fish and shrimps.

This is just my experience and opinion of what I have notice throughout this past
year, but I'm also learning every day.

 

X-Ray tetra will eat your cherry shrimp brother.
Cory's and goldfish are not friends.
25% weekly with that stocking.
