My penguin bio filter died so I had to purchase a new one. I put filter media from the old in the new to keep the beneficial bacteria in the tank. Question is how long should I leave the old filter media in so the bacteria can be good the new filter? I really don't want to lose any fish because...
Lol ya they can be entertaining! I'm not sure on the pots maybe someone else will know. My Pleco is about 8 inches maybe! He's just so big and gets spooked easily so knock anything and everything over lol I love watching my Chinese algae eaters. They have little suckers on there faces too. I...
if your looking for fish to control the algae then the chinese algae eaters, flag fish and siamese algae eaters are the way to go and don't eat the plants. My pleco uproots everything!!
Bettas are not community fish! Danios are great to watch, always on the go and wish about mid level in the tank or higher. I had some once upon a time by my rosy barbs ate them when I was on vacation lol
thanks so much I thought they were getting eaten for a second there lol I still can't believe they had fry! The guy I got them from had about 20-30 of them in a 10 g tank and wanted me to take more!! I told him 2 was just fine by me!! So glad I trusted my instincts haha

Thank your your input. Next time I'm in town I'm going to stop in at my LPS and see about getting either the siamese algae eater or the American flag fish if possible. There are 2 stores but both 45-50 away so not someplace I can just drop in unfortunately. And I put in the peroxide so I'll post...
