    Whilst I would agree that in a poorly setup aquarium you do need to change the water regularly, if the filtration is correct you could go years just topping up what evaporates, I know this because I've had aquariums running this way. All I would say is don't feed your fish lots of food, after all in their natural surroundings they only eat when it rains or what they can scavenge, if this was understood and explained more I think more people would have aquariums.
