Definitely consider the Eheim as parts are well supported, there are hobbyists that have Eheim running in excess of 10 years. I used to own a 2213 Classic that ran very well, I had plecos in that gallon till I retired it.

Have you priced a canister filter for the 90L cube yet? Vebas is a honest and long running business - it's been around for a long time and I did visit the shop many times while I was living in Murdoch.

I feed Bug Bites as well - they are the best flake money can buy and I have a friend that also swears that worms( black or blood) give Apistos bloat. I’m trying bbs and flake and Hikari micro pellets on this pair and hope they condition well for spawning.

Thanks guys for the welcome, I've kept apistos for *geez* I'm getting old, around 20 years on and off. They've got me hooked on aquariums - lucky I've got a very understanding partner that supports me in the hobby. Breeding apistos is my goal with each species I get. Australia has some very...

G'day from Australia! I am primarily a fish hobbyist in my spare time ever since I sold my sports car; fish keeping is a fantastic past time and I've got a bit more time now that I have swopped careers at work. Cars used to be a passion and that kept me busy for the last 15 years. I try to...
