Aquarium Advice Newbie
Ok so I know this is probably a dumb question but like I said before Im a total here. We have had our tank up and running for almost a week now with the fish in it (had it up and running about 3-4 weeks before we added the fish) and I want to do a PWC but Im not sure how. I am going out today to get a gravel vac (any advice on that would be good) and maybe some more decor for our little tank (its a 5 gallon), is there anything else I need to do the water change? Do I have to take the fish and ghost shrimp out to change the water and vacuum the gravel? I've only seen my father in law do his and he always does like a 90% water change and takes his fish out first (he has a 20 gallon I think and only does the change when the tank looks yucky). Everything looks good in our tank but from reading on here I've read that you should do the PWC weekly so thats what I want to do (I want some happy, healthy fish!) So can someone walk me through a PWC so I don't freak my fish out. Thanks
