most of us at home change water straight from the tap...and with all the screwed up chemical contents from our taps..daily change of water will definately harm the fishes...
Ok thanks for the info.

The LFS and farm here that keep aros in comm. tank (especially small aros) change water everyday, even some change more than once a day. The amount of water changed also more than 50% once.

Again we need to note..they use water thats aged in their water collection point...not using water straight from the tap.

Change water everyday is possible if you have a aging water tank or container enough to store water for every water changes. But nowadays we can't 100% age water in just one night, too much chemical used in our tap water.

I take water everyday from my FGT, water the plants, every two days add in new water to top up .... once a week use the FGT water about half to wash the floor , then top up again ... so tat's quite a lot of water change ... never aged the water .... never measure anything ...

feeding is one week, two bags of feeders (200 per pack) and 50 bullfrogs , all throw in
