    I ditched the pad because after a week it had basically disintegrated and was just a lump in the filter, I liked the bio balls because they just fitted under the sponge holder quite well but that's up to you. I also found that there is a gap at the top of of the filter which I put a mesh bag of...

    I've got the all-pond solution filter for my tank, the one you're looking at. I think its really good, its compact and has been running for a year for me which is great. It can be quite noisy so I had to shove a sock between the pipe and the main body to stop it from rattling. It worked well for...

    Cleaning advice?

    I wouldn't take the ornaments out and rinse them as this can kill beneficial bacteria also try not to clean tank and filter all on the same day as this can remove to much of the beneficial bacteria How did you use to clean the tank filter in the past?

    Wild vs Domestic

    In reference to betta species I find the "wild" betta to live much longer the fancy tailed betta splendins in shops have a life span of "3-5 years" but most will never live that long. I find they are so prone to fin rot, tumour, swimming problems such as swim bladder issues and more than most...

    Wild vs Domestic

    yeah, I tend to like wild strains of fish that are captive breed as they are pretty hardy, I find the more the fish are selective breed the weaker they are. As an example goldfish, I have a pond of the standard single-tailed comet and common goldfish and minus colour they have pretty much the...

    Help with gender identification

    If they are a male and a female they will defiantly breed so if you don't want a pregnant fish then i don't think you will be fine. You could remove one and keep only one gender though it can be quite hard to sex young fish depending on how old the fish at your shop are. Is there a reason you...

    Tips for keeping guppies alive?

    it could be a few things Unfortunately, because guppies are super cheap often shops don't put that much effort into them so they come in underweight as you said, it can be hard to get them eating again and often they might be too far gone. It is always better to spend those extra few pounds or...

    Algae and foam during fishless cycle

    Well I can help a bit with the foam, sometimes with certain filters like sponge filters or if you have an air stone, the anomia in the tank can form a foam on the top, it's a great visual way of telling that there is anomia present. On the side of the algae, early tanks can have algae problems...
