  1. It is a uropthalamus. And as for dividers, use eggcrate works like a charm. And IMO, you shouldn't worry about Flowerhorns until you have a tank big enough for the fish you already have.

    alright, thanks for the info.....any idea where I could get the eggcrate?

    Any hardware store or lumber yard.

  2. Best bang for your buck is the Rena filters. I have 4 of them and the only issue I've had is when one of the O-rings on the valve body needed replacing. I took it to Canadian Tire and got an automotive replacement one for under a quarter.

  3. Ya i was just wondering If I was going to Start a discus tank... What is the size of tank needed. plus if there was a mini sized one or one that is smaller then the rest. Plus I heard they are alot of work.. it that true? Im a cichlid guy so, im not sure, but the colors are crazy on discus, plus do they need live plants in there? and Brackish water?

    For a beginner with discus I would strongly recomend bare bottom tank, 30% water changes every second day, or more depending on age of discus and stocking level. Also brackish water would most likely kill them very quickly.

    When I first got into discus I read a number of books about discus and spent quite a bit of time browsing this site:

  4. okay i have 4 smaller angles that i would possibly like to move to my 50 gal but i have one med to large angel already in there... will their be issues should i leave them in the quarintine tank till i can get a 29gal running?

    Normally it is not an issue to have smaller angels with larger ones.
