i just recently move my two gfs to a 55 gallon tank.
 

where do i start?
i just recently move my two gfs to a 55 gallon tank.
i had an oranda and a fantail in a 20 gallon until the oranda
laid fifty or so eggs. the both ate them all and soon after that
came the amonia spike followed by the fantail comming down with what
looks like
swim blatter or constipation.
i was advised to get the fish out of the tank and bring the amonia
levels down
before they get ill.
I did not have atub to put them in so i went for the 55 gallon that i
was planning to setup later on.
so: this is what i did.

1 filled the 55 gallon ( made sure it was clean) and added aquasafe,
something
called goldfish essentials and add 15 grams of aquarium salt for every
40 liters.
2 two air defusers (white cubes found at
http://www.goldfishconnection.com/sh...Id=13&catId=20)
and rena 400 air pump.
3 emperor 400(brand new -no biobugs yet-) and aquaclear 500(with two
foam blocks used in 20 gallon tank).
4 wait a day( about 12 hours)
5 introduce the two fish and their anubia whatever plant (kinda tall
with broad leaves).
now, i know from experience that the smaller the tank the more water
changes.
what a about a 55 gallon tank? what percentage of water has to get changes?
how frequently should it occure?
am i doing wrong by having the aquaclear 500 from the old tank in
conjuction with
the emperor 400?
ill stop here.
