Personally I would go for a canister so your intake can be set-up closer to the bottom of the tank. I like the fluval's, but they are the only ones I have ever used.
Sorry but I mused your post pseudomugil. Are you recommending that I do the rusty cichlids instead of the acei? My lfs unfortunately doesn't have any in atm.
As I'm continuing my research I think I may have come up with another option.
Does six of each of the following sound like it would work?
Acei
Yellow lab
Maingano.
I would most likely be getting them small as well. Are you recommending that I get 20 different species? Have you ever had too much fry survive and overpopulated a tank?
I don't have a plan for the holding females. I will most likely let nature take over in that department. Should I consider a female only tank? I don't really want to have to deal with a bunch of cichlid fry.
As for aggression with the red zebras is there another species you'd recommend instead?
Personally I never change my cartridges or foam until they are literally falling apart. Changing them simply destroys your beneficial bacteria that mainly live in the filters. As for the carbon I don't use any in my tanks since I don't feel it's necessary but in general it should be changed...
I'm in the process of reorganising the stock in my two tanks and I think I can finally make a cichlid tank!
I'm going to be adding some slate and switching the gravel for black sand. I'm also going to add a new fluval 406 to add to the current ac 70. My pH is around 8 so that shouldn't be a...
I smelled one yesterday and there was a little odour but nothing serious. Still no movement from either today however there is an air bubble in one of the shells. Is that a sign of life or death?
I recently received an order of two orange rabbit snails. They were both in their shells when I opened the bags. The water in the bags was quite cold but the shrimp I ordered at the same time were fine. Now 20 hours later they are still sitting in their shells at the bottom of the tank. Are they...
Maybe someone with both filters rated for a tank of equal volume could calculate how many cubic centimetres of media each can hold. If i would have two of similar size I would do it myself but a c3 and a AC 70 are not meant for the same size tanks.
It's really hard to tell since it has very little colour. Probably due to the fact that it was quite stressed during transport. Is that a blue stripe? I would wait a few days and maybe post a pick if it colours up. Since most of the micro rasboras are the same shape it's very hard to tell until...
I have a c3 and an AC 70 and I would say that what decides how quiet they are is the water level in the tank. As the water evaporates they get louder. It's the same motor in both after all.
Well after losing all of my shrimp for an unknown reason. I am going to try again. This time however I will order some chilli rasboras at the same time. How many should I get? My ph is 8.2 do you think that would pose a problem for them? This time I will go with cherries since they are cheaper...
I had a school of serpent tetras and they were just vicious. They would nip everything in the tank even each other. Would never get more in the future.
