Replacing internal filter
Yeah Ray, right, I missed that valuable post, just found it ‘unread of course’ in my ‘overstocked’ inbox.
* I’m still waiting for a reply about covering the discharge of the UGF head with polyster, this will solve the problem of pulling the stems off the gravel. And yes, they do get pulled off although my UGF is running in the normal mode (water is sucked up through the tube to the power head). The pulling off is the result of ‘dancing’ movements, you can’t expect WEAK currents in a small tank with two power head filters running.
You’ll be really surprised to know the poor aquatic knowledge among fish store owners here. Not mentioning the lack of equipments, I can’t find tank siphons, testing kits, live food, fry food (egg layer) , etc.. I got the advise of turning the filters off at night from a fish keeper who said that the fish need to rest at night.
Plans are made to take away some of my fish, my first option is my home-bred guppies, and the pair of blue gouramis ( 3 ” and 2 1/2″ ) as they can grow fast and big, but they’re about to lay eggs I think, the female’s belly is rounded and the male is being very aggressive towards his tank mates, I just separated them in a smaller tank . I’ll wait them to lay eggs then I’ll take them back to the fish store, if I had the heart to do it!
Don’t give up hope on me, I may turn out to be a good fish keeper in the near future!
Thanks for the advise(s) Noura
