I believe the syno's will eat your other stock

my aquaclear 200 filter has been running for 5 years with the original media (sponge and bio) and impeller/shaft/motor. I haven't invested a penny in that filter in 5 years. I clean it every month or so and it still runs as smoothly and silently as new. I love Hagen products (Except the Fluval...

I believe yu could add more tetras depending on your shark, cories as well!

that thing sure is expensive... i've used Kent's nitrate sponge as media to remove nitrates. bacteria would colonise the media and remove nitrates. Not sure how well it worked though I've stopped though as I still need to do water changes weekly to remove all the waste on the bottom.

American Flag Fish will eat it. Males are stunning as well. They're killifish, scientific name is jordenella floridae i think they are small, about 1 inch long i put mine in a tank and didn't feed for 2-3 days. they'd eaten most of it. If you want alot, get only male and the rest females as...

i would add cories perhaps 4 or 5 peperred cories

there are hundreds of type of algea eaters many are too small and will be eaten by the oscar though. Youd need larger plecos probably

you need to introduce fish asap just letting food to rot will not be enough to keep a tank cycled. what i'd do is set up the tank without the filter. add the filter and go fish shopping immediately. stock to about 25% and add an extra 25% every week for a month, as long as all readings are...

i'd look at the ingredients trouts are more carnivourous i believe so there pellets would be mostly meat with little to no veggies. and watch out for the fat contents as well as they're cold water fish

the most silent air pump i bought was a rena. it was a bit more expensive but extremely silent operating. the filter did get clogged though and then it became noisy. i just do without air pumps now.

IMO, that filter alone will not be anough, giving about 2.5 tunrover rate an hour. if the stock in your signature is correct, the tank is lightly stocked though so it might do for now. However, I'd gor with a filter that will turnover your water at least 5 times an hour, meaning about 750lph...

Your tank is fully stocked and the new tank will be fully stocked as well. the oscar will reach 10cm within a few months, probably 1 or 2 tops. the bristlenose will most likely become fish food once the cichlids grow a little.

i would leave it as is, no room for endlers IMO don't mix assassin snails with apple snail as it will be killed.

fish don't need alot of food. if you feed every day, thye should be all right. they will get what they need. if the endlers are bloated, you mgiht actually be feeding too much, which is alot worse than underfeeding IMO.

i'd think heaters in most, if not every tank is a must though as not all fish like it the same temp heat the room to 76-77 but then some tanks will be warmer. i would also have to figure out a way to auto dechlor water as it is pumping in the tanks and have a sort of auto change feature where...
