Hello everyone,
I have a new shubunkin goldfish that is around 3"-4" long at the minute and is in an 8ltr tank (don't worry, he will be moved to a 20-30G tank in the next couple of months). I've researched how often I should change water and from what I can gather I should do a 50% change every 1-2 days for the first 2-3weeks and after that 50% a week should suffice. My question is, after I've done a water change, will I need to add in more water conditioner or will the conditioner left over from the water left work on the new water? Thanks!

Every time you change water you must add water conditioner with the new water.
