My bettas are all in unfiltered 2.5 gallon tanks. How often would

often. So, what does everyone think?


Water change enough to keep your parameters (esp. Nitrate, Nitrite &
Ammonia) low and *stable*.

You also might be asking the question slightly wrong. It may be better
to reduce the amount of water changes, rather than the frequency. (e.g.
do a 20% every week, versus a 100% every month.)
