It depends on how many fish you have in the tank and the type of filtration you have. If the tank is heavily stocked then the water should be partially changed every week - around 10-15% is fine.

How often do water filters need to be changed?

Generally a filter on a fish tank needs to be replaced once a week. If the fish tank is especially dirty, then it may need to be replaced more often than that. Generally, the more fish there are in the fish tank, the more often the filter will need to be replaced.

Do you need to heat the water up before transferring angelfish?

The water in the tank that you are transferring the angelfish to should be the same temperature and PH of the old water.If you are adding them to your tank from a fish store, then you should acclimate the fish first by floating the bags in your tank, and every so often add a bit of your tank water to the water in the bag to avoid temperature or PH shock.


Why does the old goldfish die every time you put a new one in the tank even though the water quality is fine?

Goldfish first need to be acclimated - the water in the bag when you buy a fish is different than the water in your tank - you need to float the bag in the tank for several hours and every so often add a bit of your tank water to the bag. The reason is that the temperature and PH are always different, and the shock will kill the fish.
