We have a 100 gallon tank here at work. Usually we claen the gravel & change the water (at least 50-60 gals) once a week to prevent algae growth, sediment build up, clear water, etc.
How often do you peeps change your water?  |

Yeah we got the heater on so the water 80 all of the time.
Just had one of our angel fish die the other day...  The Discs that are in the picture feed on bloodworms and have gotten a little bigger now. |

My brother did most of the trimming and cutting of the wall, I set up the water filtration system and fish tank...you don't see it but we routed the water pipes down the basement....so we actually have 500 gallons of water circulating into the tank...

I see, but if you overcrowd an aquarium the shear movement of all the fish causes water to circulate and therefore renew the air/water contact surface. I'm sure they probably die of shock due to the sudden change in conditions
not arguing with you or anything, stil sad to lose all your fish

hahaha nah man you need more circulation than that to keep the fishes breathing....the filters and the water flow controller were out, and the drop in temperature didn't help much either...in the after noon of the next day when i woke up, there were a few left gasping for air, but soon after that they died... took me 2 years to start raising fish again...it was a mass grave
