    Ricordias

    hey guys, i recently got a few rics and they're doing fine. but i put two of them close together in the tank and it seems like they've grown a little and now one is starting to grow on top of the other. should i separate them? or let it just grow and cover the other?

    Small Nano Tank - First Timer - Where to Start?

    you should start by getting a tank. then get a good filter system for it. if its between 10 and 16G then you can purchase a marineland penguin bio filter. they go for like 35 bucks and they can "support" up to 30 gallon. (always get a filter that can support a lot more than what you have) then...

    the filters in petland

    not quite sure which filters you're talking about. but if you're growing larvae or fish fry then you dont really need a filter due to the fact that virtually every filter will suck any tiny animal you have. when i was growing fish fry i just put them all into a 12 gallon tank with a heater, a...
