So...long story short I thought pebbles were okay with bichirs, so I switched to pea pebbles because of the smell of the sand, and then I asked, so I needed to switch back to sand, THEN, I broke my filter by not cleaning out the sand enough (I swear, the sand is half silt), so now I got a new filter, and a half inch of silt at the bottom. Long, hectic days for the fish. Sparky didn’t eat for a day or 2, and he stayed in one spot hidden for a while.
On the other hand, the filter can not fit on the back of the tank, because I am not strong enough to lift over 1,000 pounds of water, plus tank and stand. So...It is on the side, wich I don’t mind. The filter is an AquaClear 70 HOB. The led’s and hood need to be cut so that the filter can fit. The filter is from Aquarptic Warehouse, which is a literal warehouse ?. Here are some pics!
