I can’t really see what’s going on in that picture is there a hole in the hood that they both can’t fit in, could you simply remove the hood to run them both?
Ok will do that thanksYes, since your cycling it’s not ideal to remove any bacteria that may have grown in the old filter but if you can’t fit both put the old cartridge behind the new one in the larger filter.
It's nota matter of the tools I definitely have the tools to do it but I'll make a mental note of that if I too need to cut itIf you got a Dremel tool it cuts plastic lid like a champ. I've "customized" mine. Looks good.
That's what I'm doing right now later I'm gonna check how the new one is doing but I think it's gonna take a whileIf you don’t feel like cutting the lid, then take the contents (the existing cartridge and most importantly that material at the output of the filter) from the first filter and place it into the new one. You can keep the old one as a back up.
Could have been a few things isn't that one the smallest? Maybe he got too stressed out from the other nipping fish. Over dose of prime, so on. If your other fish are fine it's probably not a disease, could be, but just keep an eye on them. Your ammonia level was most likely caused from your dead fish. sorry you lost him. Imo! This is not badly over stocked. These angels are still very small. Test your water after water change see where your at now that the fish is out.Today I was counting the fish and rralizedone of them wasn't there I turned over the big ship and this little guy floated up I watched him and tapped him a little and he didn't move so I realized he was dead the other day. He was fine was coming to the surface when I was feeding eating fine and swimming around fine and now he's dead the ammonia is at .50 all the other fish look fine and I don't know what else could have killed him any ideas also he smelt like dead fish so he must have been gone a while when I got him out could this be a disease that could spread to the rest of the tank? Please respond quick another thing is that I'm using prime so that ammonia should be not that bad right? View attachment 307598View attachment 307599
