RE: Weekly water change for betta fish?
Bettafish, Siamese Fighting Fish are tolerant of quite large changes in water quality. However no aquarium, coldwater, freshwater tropical or marine should have any large water changes, 25% weekly is more than adequate unless the tank is grossly overstocked. Even if the tank is undergoing major maintainance, or has to be moved, the substrate should be removed and rinsed in aquarium water. At least 60-70% should be kept in buckets and then replaced into the aquarium with new water being gradually added.
