you should do 25% water changes every week,,

once a month isn't gonna be enough to keep healthy fish,

it takes like a month for a new tank to "Cycle"

what cycling is when bacteria forms and eats up all the ammonia and nitrites. basically fish shit.

its best to only have like 5 fish to start cycling your tank with a 10 gallon because chances are that they will die while the tank goes thru the proccess.


Test the water for proper PH and make sure your ammonia and nitrites is 0, most pet stores will test your water for free
