Stocking levels

[Ajno]

I wanted to see how everyone stocks their tanks and how often they change their water and what percentage. I have 2 tanks and each fish has about 20 gallons each. I change water 2x a week about 80 percent.

Right now I'm at about 20 a fish, but when the 2 new additions get out of qt in a week, it'll be back at 15 per fish. Currently doing 60% every 5 days, but that will probably be stepped up to 2x weekly again once they all consolidate.

84 tanks and tubs, this time of year several thousand fish. twice a week water changes except when I am in town then, daily for the fry. Lots of water changes when close to the full moon.

12 fish in 75G Tank, 2-3 times a day at 40-95% water change each time, depending on water quality.

Couple of thousand gallons, but only about half capacity, so down to once a week. ;)

[Jed]

I have 10 goldfish in a 220 gallon tank with 50% weekly water changes.

Always 100% water changes, (anything less is simply making dirty water less dirty!) every 4 days during the growing season, every 7 days in Spring and every 10 days in Autumn. No water changes when fish are being rested without food but with minimum water temperature 52F for 6 weeks end November to beginning January.

I have a very eclectic mixture of tanks and tubs..... Some are heavily stocked - far more than is deemed "normal", but they are either extremely filtered and changed ( 80-90% every few days), or under constant water exchange systems.

I have a large barn building on our new farm (we had hopes to build this year - but the economy put the kibosh on that!), where I keep multiple large growout tubs - 1000 gallons each. These are on continuous water exchange systems, too.

Since I take in sick and injured fish for many, I have a constantly changing group of fish. My fish, however, are numerous. Some are grown in green water, others in tubs.

In general, I have about 1 fish per 10 gallons in Biologically filtered tanks - changing approximately 60% of the water every 4-6 days.

I have about 3 fry per 10 gallons in either biologically filtered tanks or CWE.

I have sick fish in Zeolite filtered tanks - usually changed 100% daily.

I have approx. 1 fish per 15 gallons in green water.

I have 6 oldies in a 90 gal tank (2 AQ110s & a Fluval) & 2 young goldies in a 30 gal w/AQ110. I change 50-75% weekly. I have a regular Saturday routine. But if anything goes awry I do not hesitate to do another water change!
