    Tropical Heater

    Hi, I have purchased the Rio Juwel 400 and it comes with a 300 watt heater. It is a 450L tank and despite the fact that the 300W heater it comes with it is advertised as being able to do: "UP TO 450L" I am conscious that that might be slightly exaggerated. Also looking around on the web it...

    I have a pregnant Molly and six baby balloon mollies from her first fry. The babies were quite a surprise since she was the only fish in there with our dwarf frog.
