And its realy nice to watch - all feed are eating for 100%,water crystal clear and under night light fish looks so colourfull,Blue Diamands are electro blue.

I wouldnt worry about disturbing them with water change if I were you. Believe me , they are more disturbt by not doing it.
Good luck with them Juris and hope to see some pictures soon .

I think that they will eat even more in future , once they relax and got accustomed on your water parameters and environment. So get ready to buy some more food.

If you have done 3 x 25% WC in one week that's not equal to 75% weekly WC.The WC math doesn't work that way.

P.s. Expecting your pics from stendkers

[Dhavalsp]

Tank looks nice...what are you using for filtration? 30 % weekly might be a problem but doable if you reduce the feeding (which will affect growth), heavy filtration and extra cautiousness - turning the filter off during feeding and maintaining intake filter.

genuine advice would be to do 50% WC every other day till they hit like 5.5 which will take about 2-4 months on your feeding and then gradually decrease WC while closely monitoring how the fish are reacting to the change in schedule. As far as their memory, I think they eventually start loving water changes, my fish are always under the water stream flow in the tank during WC and I use water from the tap and dechlorinate it in the tank.

Looking forward to see some update pics. good luck!
