What LFSs do you go to in Panama?
Melo, and American Pets (near brook Airport) are the only ones I've been to since moving to here, and they have little to offer for the serious fish keeper from what I've seen.
It is fairly easy to make a bio filter just using small pieces of lava rock from a garden center as media, and putting them in a recycled bottle in the tank, with either an air stone pumping thru, or an a power head, you can also pick up a hang on back filter and fill the open area with lava rock as biomedia.
Encuentra 21 seems to have filter equipment available frequently.
I have been looking for the reasonable size tank (minimum 100 gallons) on Encuentra 21 for a while. My problem is the logistics of getting it to Taboga.
My goal is to catch some of the native cichlids and maybe some dithers, once I get the logistics worked out.
Andinoacara coeruleopunctatus, Geophagus crassilabrus, and either of the Tomocichla (tuba or asfracci) or any Cribroheros species would be the ones I go for when ready.
I made DIY bio towers using lava rock, and readily available materials like PVC when in the U.S, and will do that here when ready.
