I was searching through the local classifieds this morning and found a guy selling his 1 yr old Fluval 403 Canister Filter for $80. Should I look into this? It’s rated up to 100 gallons and I know these things are generally expensive. I've just never had any practical exp with canister filters...

Lookin to replace my dying filter for my 55g. I have a very limited budget of about 50 bucks. Anyone have any suggestions? Was looking at an emperor 400 but if anyone has a different suggestion I'd like to hear it. Thank you.

Depends what you want to do with them. The babies will grow fast taking a few weeks to grow large enough to be on their own. Not all of them will survive, there are almost always a casualty or two and if you want to keep as many alive then feed them brine shrimp or crushed flake food. If you...

you will have many many babies very very soon. Convict cichlids would breed in a mud puddle given the chance. The parents are also very aggressive when it comes to protecting their offspring.

I hate to be the jerk but you said you wanted a SA theme...idk if you meant all of the fish or the plants inside it. Gouramis are from SE asia :/ And I'd be a little nervous about freshwater clams because of the difficulty it takes to raise them not to mention how if they die theyre going to...

Yes, theyre both cycled. Theyve had fish in them for the past two yrs up until yesterday

Okay as you can tell by my signature I have two empty tanks right now. Both have been set up and running, I just wanted some change so I gave my fish to some of my friends who have established tanks. I was thinking maybe having juli's in my 38 gallon and have a breeding colony or something...

a The pic is one of the female (possible) hybrids next to a pen for comparison. It seems much to elongated and large when compared to the other normal female endlers.

I have two tanks one has endlers in it the other has guppies. Both are pure strains and are beautiful fish. One day a couple of weeks ago I decided to switch the fishs tanks giving the endlers the biiger of the tanks so they could have more room to breed. sadly I think I missed one of the male...

Actually saw one of the suckers at PetCo today! It was the only fish in the tank when it was supposed ot have some needle nose gar in it. I wonder what ever happened to the gar....

So far everyone has nailed anythign and everything id wanna see in my local LFS. Ok how about books and magazines? Oh and you'd be suprised on how many people will buy crickets if you offer them. A lot of people who have fish are bound to have lizards and such. THose seem to sell the most at the...

Well I checked it out and I believe one of the plastic pieces that holds the impeller is broken which doesnt keep the impeller in place. I think the impelle is worn down too. I think instead of going through all the trouble of fixing it I'll just get a new filter. I was looking into getting a...

ill do that right now actually...

I currently have an Emperor 400 (the bigger one) that seems to be making way too much noise. The flow adjustment knob rattles and shakes and a lot of sounds seems to be coming from the impeller or something. Any help or suggestions would be very appreciated.

Do u happen to use CO2 in your tank at all?
