What is the best and cleanest brand of filter for a 10 gallon aquarium?

Nov 18, 2008 by Military loving girl | Posted in Fish

I currently use Penguin Ready to use cartridges but for some reason they don't seem to clean as good. What kind of filter do you use and is it good for a 10 gallon?
I currently have 3 guppies 2 mickey mouse tailed platties, and 2 dojos for bottom feeders.
I'm not looking for whats cheapest as thats not an issue. I'm concerned about my fish

I am currently using the Tetra Whisper PF10 Filtration System and it's perfect for my ten gallon tank because it kept my tank cleaned for three months in a row without me having to change the cartridges every two weeks; all i do is check and see if the filter is slimy and if so i just rinse it. But the work of the filter depends on the type of fish you have; if you have goldfish then your filter will get real messy rather than if you have small tropical fish. I am a small tropical fish lover, so i currently have 3 sunset platy, 2 tiger barbs, 2 black widow fish, one glow fish, one guppy, three golden platy, and one Chinese algae eater that really helps keep the tank clean, as you can see they are all pretty much small fish and they make small waist, just enough for the algae eater and filter to handle. My tank has been crystal clear, and i only replace the cartridges every four-five months, since it doesn't get used pretty quick. Here's the link to the filter: http://www.petco.com/product/107131/Tetr a-Whisper-PF10-Filtration-System.aspx my fish loves that filter because it also purifies the water and provide them enough oxygen.

Do You Want A Freshwater Aquarium Fish? Consider The Flowerhorn Cichlid, Part 2!

23.09.11

For the top-grade quality of your Flowerhorn tank, the pH levels are the alkalinity and acidity of the be unfeasible. This is known as ‘the hardness’ of the water due to the dissolved mineral satisfied, such as Calcium. Usually the pH of hard water is above 7, as it is more alkaline. If there is a scarcity of dissolved minerals in the water, it is considered ‘cushiony’ water and therefore the pH will be lower than neutral, thus making it acidic.

Many breeders piece that a higher pH level, from 7.5 to 7.8, will encourage the expansion of the nuchal hump, which the male has, while a lower pH level, of 6.1 to 6.5, will strengthen color development in the fish. A great product to use for maintaining the pH knock down is Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Proper pH Powder. This product has Electrolytes and Aloe Vera, to take out chlorine and heavy metals from the water and reduce your fishes` accentuate.

For the water temperature, though they can survive in a wide range of temps, the standard of perfection temp is 28 degrees C.  as per  http://flowerfish.articlealley.com  It should be raised to 30 degrees C. if the fish gets miserable, even though all sicknesses can`t be cured with this method. Make sure you have a unerring thermometer and check it often.

Question?

by JoeSmo

Can I get danio to spawn in 1 ten gallon tank if I divided it into five gallon sides and removed the adults once the eggs have been laid? Because my dad said if I could get fry from them and start raising them in the spare 10 galon tank I have right now I would be able to get another 10 gallon tank to keep adults seperate from fry and also have a grow out tank for the fry. And also how do I tell when the danio have laid eggs so I can take them out of the spawning tank? I was gonna breed celestial pearl danios because I wanted to make some money and they are like $8 a fish. i have never breed fish, but i have looked into it. i think as long as the parents are unable to consume the fry/eggs, and they are not threatened by the filter, it might work. when you breed them, put a layer of marbels at the bottom, so the eggs can fall trough and avoid being consumed. some other more experienced people will come along and be able to give a more definite answer. if i were you, i would get the new tank ahead of time and breed them in that Wait until a time your female is looking plump, then put her and a male into the divided side one evening, feed them once while they are in the divided side, turn the light off as normal. In the morning, make the room light by opening curtains or something, but don't put the aquarium light on, after 30 minutes to and hour put the aquarium light on, leave the adults in the tank with the light on for another 10-20 mins, then move them back to the otherside.
