How long should I wait before doing an at least 50% water change on my betta's 2 gallon tank? It has been a full 24 hours since the last dose (2 parasite clear treatments in all). I would just think it would be good to get a water change soon. It has been almost a week since his last big water change. I have done two 25% water changes this week.
 
It should say on the bottle. Which parasite treatment did you use?

I take it this tank has no filtration that you're changing so much water?
 
So you changed 25% of the water, dosed, waited 48 hours, changed 25% more, dosed again? I'd give the second dose another 48 hours as well.

Were the parasites visible? Are they gone? I seem to recall you can do a third dose if necessary. I think I used a diffrent brand last time though...
 
Yep, that is exactly what I did....thanks so much! I will wait another 24 hours (since it has already been 24 since the last dose).
