Thank you! Are you referring to this: Amazon.com : Hagen Elite Underwater Mini Filter, UL Listed : Aquarium Filters : Pet Supplies I saw this but didn't consider as it was rated for up to 3 gal only. Is there a bigger one than this or is this good enough for your 5.5 gal?

I am looking for a compact internal filter for my daughter's 5 gal tank in which she keeps her pet ADFs (2). The tank is an Aqueon 5.0 kit and the filter it comes with is a joke. I added a Marina S10 HOB to it, but it prevents from the hood being closed and there's large gap in the back. We...

Hey, Thanks for the detailed response. Much appreciated.

Hi, What do you mean by, " 1m facade for swimming"? Just curious.... Thanks

OK all.... Thanks for the quick help. I think I'll hold off on the mollies for now.... Just one final question though... would a single male be alright? I mean would he be too depressed with no other molly in the tank?

Thanks. Would 2 female and 1 male be OK? with a pair setting, I am just worried about the female being constantly harassed by the male.... BTW, my tank is well filtered - a Fluval 206 canister and an Aqueon 30 HOB....

We have a 25 gal (tall) planted tank with cardinal tetras (5), german blue ram pair, rasboras (6) and some peppered cories (5). It's been a while since we added new fish and some old ones (tetras) have died. My wife wants like them black mollies... I am just worried about their well being in...

I have no cats or dogs! You're right, there has to some sane explanation for this. Just beats me!!

I had 6 peppered cories and QTed them in 5 gal tub. After about 4-5 days one of them was missing. I thought may he was hiding somewhere. Today after about 2 wks in QT I put the 5 remaining in the main tank. I looked and looked all over the QT tank. No sign of the 6th guy!!! Not even...

sick honey gourami - help One of 2 honey gouramis in my 25 gal planted sick has fallen ill all of a sudden. He was fine yesterday and this morning I found him lying in the gravel. I immediately out him in a QT. He's swimming OK, but he's 2 whitish spots (pics attached). I have added some...

I'd say 2 wks minimum. Keep up with daily 50% water change, even though you seem to have an old filter in there.... Normally, what I do is replace 50% water dialy 1/2 of it main tank water and 1/2 fresh water. Good luck. BTW, petsmart fish aren't that bad. As discussed many times here and...

Also check out this link: State Laws Governing Private Possession of Exotic Animals I find no mention of angel fish! There is a section on health certification in there. May be you can contact the number in this site and they should help you to set this straight (I hope!). Good luck

How did this inspector decide that the angel fish is an "exotic" pet? Is there a list s/he went by? Also there are regulations, I think, for folks selling exotic animals such as special licensing. In that case does the LFS, where you bought this "exotic" pet, have such license? I doubt. I...

Very good discussion and info indeed. I'll share 2 cents: freeze dried foods, as hpiguy would say, are just dehydrated foods - only water is removed by freezing the foodstuff to very cold temps (eg -40 C which happens to be -40 F as well!) and slowly remove the water under vacuum. So all the...

Yes. that's correct. I am worried adding 10 at the same time would increase the bio load dramatically...... I have been very good (this time!) with these cardinals with proper QT and everything!
