if you have that much fish i do a water changes 0nce a week do 25 % water change:c5:

[~Erik3.8.07~]

you should change your water at least once a week and do at least a 25% water change each time. I do 50% weekly changes on my tanks. Your filtration sounds like it would be good but im not familiar with trickle filter systems.

personally i would skip on the harlequins and add maybe another gold barb

With frequent water changes... I would say 50% weekly you should be O.K.

Agreed. I otherwise think you won't have good water parameters. Weekly water changes with that setup is not optional.
