Movie looks a bit amusing, although I find it easy to lower my sense of humor most of the time Glad to hear your BN’s are fairly peaceful then, as I’m getting some in the near future.
I’m working on making one of my tanks into a faster flowing tank to accommodate some fancy loaches, I’m wondering how my other fish will adjust to a faster flowing fish tank now, LOL. I think my danio’s wouldn’t mind as they seem to enjoy playing in the out-take current. I know that I couldn’t keep my female betta in there as it would not be a good environment for her, so she will have to go in which-ever tank doesn’t have the loaches in it. I know that the loaches like a lower water temp, and most of my fish would do okay at 77 degrees too, which is the higher range for the loach I’m looking at. I’m looking at the Hillstream loaches (I know there are several varieties, I’m not picky as to which one just yet, but I do have my eye on a couple types). Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could get a faster current in my tank to make the hillstream loaches happy but not make it too fast for all of my other fish too? I don’t mind going out to find some large rocks to put in the tank, and I already have drift wood soaking. I still have the 55 gallon sitting empty and I could easily get another canister filter and run 2 canister filters on it to give it a good current flow, but would that be too much or not enough water flow? I was thinking of running 2 magnum 350 (which are 350 gallons per hour) canister filters. Not sure how much flow I need to make the loaches happy enough but not too much flow for “normal” fish like danio’s, guppy’s, platy’s, which are the fish that would most likely be joining the loaches in the 55 gallon tank. I can always go out and find a small tank for my female betta, I’m sure she wouldn’t mind being alone too.
