Hi aquarium lovers. Ill start by saying I am a rookie (4 months) and new aquarium addict. I have two "tiger rasboras" (Inlecypris auropurpureus) in a 20g that is under stocked (2 corries, one red eye tetra, one white cloud mountain minnow); yesterday while doing a water change (~25%) I noticed the my rasboras seemed to be very happy with the fast current that my low water level and external power filter created. I then decided I would consider converting my 29g into a flowing stream aquarium. I thought I would get a biowheel type filter that was designed to move allot of water and position it and one end of the aquarium, with the intake at the other end to create a current. Any comments? Is there a better way to do this? Eventually I would like to build a custom aquarium that is round with a current, but my current condo is to small for this idea now...All comments welcome
Note:I know that these rasboras would like to be in a bigger group, so I want to buy the two remaining at the store, any comments? (are 4 of these fish a big enough shoal for a 29g current aquarium?) They are rare fish and I don’t expect to see them in the store again soon..... But my 20g seems a bit small for these guys and I don’t want to add more until I convert my 29g to a stream flowing aquarium....
PS- I have 3 Denison’s barbs in my 29 g now, will these barbs and rasboras work well together in a flowing 29g aquarium?
