90% Water Change on 20 Gallon Fish Tank! Oscar Aquarium Maintenance
Hello everyone, it's Pierre and welcome back!
This video is about cleaning and changing the water in my 20 gallon fish tank. This is a "growout" aquarium for 3 baby oscars and 2 severums. They measure about 2-3 inches each. I feed them a lot and keep the nitrates as low as possible so they grow quickly.
One way to do this is with big, huge, massive water changes. This video shows me changing 90% of the water. Despite what many people think, big water changes do not harm fish. In nature a big flood or rainstorm changes the water chemistry and temperature very quickly... imagine if fish couldn't adapt to this?
The tank is a standard 20 gallon aquarium. The oscars and severums are approximately 3 month old babies. I use a simple, big and ugly sponge filter. There is a pothos plant with its roots in the water as well as some duckweed. It has a heater but it really turns on very rarely since I keep the room itself at around 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
I don't really care much about how the tank looks since it's not on "display" - it's just top grow out these fish until I can put them in an empty 150 gallon aquarium that I'll be setting up soon. I do care about the nitrates which accumulate fairly quickly despite the plants since I feed heavily.
I test the water weekly. Once the nitrates exceed 40 ppm, I perform a 90% water change. I use a DIY PVC pipe siphon with a squeeze bulb to drain the water down to the "fin level".
In case you were wondering how the fish do with this... well, check out the video!
Thanks for watching and happy fishkeeping! See you next time.

Again, ignore this false news and misleading video!

    • @TheFishBeast
      @TheFishBeast 13 днів тому

      Hello! UA-cam blocked your comment automatically but I allowed it to be posted and even pinned it so that people may see and be educated. I request that you back up your assertion with evidence. Specifically, please tell us how this product works against disease. Show me a clinical trial where either product is demonstrated to be superior to placebo. Your sentence is a little difficult to understand… you go from talking about oxygen and air stones to how these are “natural” to the banning of medications for fish in Canada. It’s too bad that Canada bans fish medication… that doesn’t change the fact that these 2 products are absolutely useless in treating disease. Caveat emptor. Happy fishkeeping! Also if your fish are sick, I may be able to help.

    It’s difficult to change more than 20 % of the water at once , water temperature and water chemistry will be different

    • @TheFishBeast
      @TheFishBeast 17 днів тому

      Hello! Thanks for your comment! Unfortunately, that is incorrect. In nature, fish swim in and out of areas with different chemistry/salinity, temperature (thermoclines) and even oxygen content all the time. When there is a flood or rainstorm, the TDS can drop really quickly as a ton of essentially RO water is dumped into a water body. Rapid evaporation can also increase the TDS of a pool or pond. Fish have evolved the ability to adapt to their environment extremely well! There is no scientific evidence that doing large water changes (as long as the water is dechlorinated) is anything but good for fish. The only exception is “old tank syndrome” where top offs result from neglect and TDS creep occurs from gradual nitrate accumulation. A large water change can theoretically cause a massive pH swing in that case. Thank you for your excellent comment and I hope I helped shed some light on this issue. Happy fishkeeping! 😊

      Dropsy is a symptom and not a disease in and of itself. There are hundreds of possible causes. How long has the fish been sick? What other symptoms are there? What size is the tank and was it cycled before you added fish? I guess a decent thing to try would be kanamycin. Unfortunately, when dropsy manifests, it’s usually fatal since it’s the end stage of another illness.

    I pulled up this video because I had a pacu that grew from 1" to the size shown here. To this day I feel awful about not being able to take care of him. He just grew too big no matter how many times I increased the tank size. He was the sweetest fish and he really belonged in a river or lake but no one would take him as a rescue fish 😢. I wish they would stop selling this breed in pet stores

    • @TheFishBeast
      @TheFishBeast Місяць тому

      100% agree. What happened to him? It’ll take legislation to change which fish are sold in stores, unfortunately. Maybe someone should start lobbying!

      Unfortunately he died. It was about 5 years ago and I still think of him. I would sign anything to keep these guys out of pet stores. There should be a max adult size on all breeds

    hello, I have a fairly large table-type aquarium, and last night I forgot to turn on the cleaning pump after feeding them. In the morning, in addition to the fact that the water was very cloudy, the fish seemed to have no air and that by tonight some would even die. I cleaned the sponges of the pump but at the moment no change. any advice?

    • @TheFishBeast
      @TheFishBeast Місяць тому

      Sorry to hear that! When you say cleaning pump, do you mean the filter? Is the filter inside the aquarium or in a sump? Also how many gallons is the tank, what fish are in it and how long has it been running?

    I’ve tried Pimafix yesterday not sure if it’s working but I’m trying everything, haven’t opened the bottle of Melafix or Super Ick Cure yet because the little white spots spotted on Oranda wen seem to just be wen growth. My Oranda hides often and sits at bottom of tank with slow breathing but have spurts where he swims around for a while acting normal. My Nitrates are 0.5 which I know is supposed to be 0 but idk if that is what is causing the issues since I have a fancy goldfish and a comet aswell in a 75 gallon tank. If you know anything please help! I can give more details

      Do you mean nitrites are 0.5? If that’s the case the tank may not be cycled. How long has it been up? Give me as many details as possible so I can help you.

      @@TheFishBeast yes nitrites are 0.5 my bad, the tank has been up and going for 2 months or so everything is good except for nitrites, carbonate hardness is at 40 and general hardness is at 60 which needs to go up but I’m unsure on how. Seems there is algae growing on decorations not sure if that’s good or bad, I have 3 live plants in tank with total of 3 fish the fancy goldfish and comet seem fine besides maybe some crazy spurs where they go 100mph. Water temp is around 75, have the 3 layer fluval filtration system with the biomax, carbon pouch and sponge rated for up to 110 gallons. The Oranda seems perfectly fine at some points other times decides to hide on left side of tank just beyond the filter at bottom in between a plant and some driftwood. Not sure if it could be possible nitrite poisoning but the other fish seem fine so I’m just lost

      @@SavvyKBM goldfish are super tough and can handle nitrites. Do the other fish have any signs of disease or any lesions? Can you upload some pics of the Oranda to Imgur and link here? I’ll analyze and let you know what I think. Also try posting in some goldfish forum as well. If it’s just on the wen then it could just be wen growth which is generally not an issue unless it gets red/inflamed. What’s throwing me off is the behavior…
