It doesnt allow good bacteria to grow in your bowl. The more the good bacteria the healthier the fish and less fish loss. A 20% water change would be better. IP: Logged

Now, I clean my bowls out 100% about every 1 1/2 weeks to 2 weeks, and they are all healthy! (except for the one with popeye, and he is teh one that had a filter! I need to get him the right medicine!) I hope your beta starts feeling better! IP: Logged
