That would be my vote: get a cannister. Rena xp2, Ehiem, Fluval. Any one will fit nicely in your cabinet underneath……thats if you have a cabinet.

Well, just for readers sake: Cichlasoma synspilum (and the fish-nerd in me couldn't resist either) :-)

Overall Experience 5 Cost 4 Quality of Fish 4 Variety 3 Service 3 Great supply department. Wide variety. Plenty of good fish to look at. I really like the used equipment section. More shops should do this. Everybody needs to be recycling. Good assistants when you can get a hold of one.

I have to agree with racersk, I think you need to add filtration. Goldfish are piggies and create plenty of waste. I personnally would just add a cannister filter. Undergravel filters are out of fashion but still get the job done.

Overall experience 4.5 Cost 5 Quality 4.5 Variety 3 Service 5 I imagine this is the type of shop one would exprience in 1960's Hong Kong? Clutter, tight isles. Unique approach. Great for such a small shop. Prices are right and lots of young fish. I've had some very interesting finds in...

Overall experience 5 Cost 4 Quality of Fish 5 Variety 5+ Service 5 One of the best, if not the best, freshwater fish shops in Seattle. When orders are in some of the most unusual species one can find in a pet shop.

Hey its your choice. If you can live with it then there's no problem. Maybe you can just hard glue it back together? Doesn't look like it will worsen in the long run. seems primarily cosmetic. Just go with what you feel. Good luck.

I have a plastic blade for my skill saw, works great.

Here's a trick. check out some of the local petshops that feature birds. Manzanita is sold in some of these shops as perching supports. They may not be as ornate as some would like, but I've seen some pieces that were really nice. Good luck

Sorry to hear that.

I would send the pic to the place you got it from. You dont have to return the actual product but if they are really professional, they will make it right. Good luck. Rena xp1, xp2 for years.

Just remember try to avoid using the blue scrubbies on acrylic! scratches. white scrubbies good for both.

You mentioned P pictus. Is shape more important then behavior? pictus are day-active; if you are looking for day-active catfish you could also check out Synodontis eupterus or Synodontis decorus. But if shape trumps behavior, then Pimelodus ornatus, P. blochii. And Sorubim lima could be a good...

cool strain.
