Aquarium Advice FINatic
Get rid of the Koi. They do not belong in an aquarium, they are pond fish and will get up to 3 feet long!!!I'm really sorry to get off subject but I am a major noob at this site and I don't know how to post a new post. I don't know what a cycle is. From what I heard it's easyer and less fish stressful then changing the water(60% change) every 2 months. I have a 10gal FW with 2 baby koi, 2 sarpas and a snail. I will eventualy get a 30gal for when my koi gets a little bigger(1 is about 2 inch and the larger one is bout 4 inches). So what is a cycle and how can I start it? I'm not a pro at collecting fish or anything and I only came to this site because my koi were acting weird and it looked sick so I only do pH and nitrate tests when something looks wrong. Thanks for all the help I got on this site!
60% water change every 2 months is not enough by far. You should be doing at least 10% to 15% or more every week.
