How often should i water change when fry become free swimming?

[John_Nicholson]

I normally change water everyday. Even with eggs, even with wigglers, and even when they are carrying fry.

Thats a complicated answer there are several factors that you need to think about and take into consideration,
1, Are you running a single tank or a central system?
2, What kind of filtration are you using?
3, Are you using RO water, RO mix or just straight Tap?
4, Do you age your water?
5, whats your feeding schedule?

I can tell you my water change routine but unless your doing exactly what I'm doing it may not work for you.........Josie

ok with my breeders I change about 30 to 50 percent a day. I'm not really sure what you mean by mineral water do you mean like well water or spring water?
