JTF Enthusiast Posts: 245 Registered: 16-May-2004	Setup: 3 gallon; lighted hood; black standard aquarium gravel; java fern; small flower pot on side for cave; 25 watt heater; no filter, & one male betta. How often and how much water do I need to change to keep this biotype healthy.

I would probably change all the water every week. [span class="edited"][Edited by xxmrbui3blesxx 2004-08-17 22:49][/span]
