Your glo is fish is swimming around the tank like crazy you just changed the water so you are wondering if that has anything to do with it?

When you add fresh water to the tank make sure it is dechlorinated, and is the same temperature as the water in the tank. When adding the water into the tank do it slowly so no currents are made in the that could scare the fish or blow them around.

The general rule is that one should change around 25% of the water at a time, thus all you need do is leave your fish in the tank and siphon out 25% of the water, and then replace with dechlorinated water of the same temperature. If you are cleaning a bowl, then it is more common to clean the entire bowl; in that case the fish maybe be placed in a bucket or cup.


How many times should the beta water be changed?

Every two days the water should be changed. Otherwise, a filter will have to be installed. Chlorine neutralizing drops (one drop per fish bowl) should be administered to maintain a healthy balance of the water's nutrients and to fully simulate fresh water. Distilled water could also be used which will allow the water to be cleaner for a few days more than dechlorinated tap water.


How long do you wait to put back your fish after using tap water dechlorinator?

Your fish can be put straight back in the tank after using dechlorinator, as long as you have not performed a whole water change. A 30% water change every 2 weeks is recommended, and putting your fish back in the tank straight after this change of dechlorinated water shouldn't do them any harm, just as it hasn't done any harm to my 3 healthy barbs (1 rosy, 2 odessas.
