Sometimes I don't understand people, they would buy expensive and very nice fish but no time to care for them. I really hate those people would try to argue that good filtration is better than water changes. And then couple months later, they'll come back saying " What the heck happen with my fish? I have the best filtration in the world, I have zero ammonia, zero nitrate and zero nitrite yet my fish is getting dark, up side down, loosing slime coat, stringy poop and bloated. Well guess what smarty pants, filtration does not remove bacteria, parasites, protozoa and fungus but if you do enough water change it will eliminate those issues.
