How to choose the best filter for aquarium fish
So I finally decided to take a new hobby to your life and that is maintaining a Tropical Fish, You may have all the equipment in order to keep the fish full alive. It is true that before getting a fish, there are plenty of things to do. In maintaining an aquarium, you can take care of it without much work at all. First of all, know how to keep the tank in good condition.
To start, you choose tank size fits your style. If you are a beginner, it will be good if you start with a small aquarium first. This will take less expenses plus the fact that it helps focus on caring for your aquarium. If there comes a time when he's comfortable in maintaining a small aquarium, you can switch to a more big.
One of the major teams to put you in your aquarium is the filter. Filter is a device that removes impurities from water in your aquarium as a barrier either physical or chemical method. It is recommended that you use a filter plate, and it is inexpensive and keeps the remains totally out. But how can you choose the best filter for aquarium? Moreover, you get the right filter can save many hours in maintenance.
The following tips may be useful for you can find the best filter around.
1. You should know the three types of filtration systems that are needed in your tank: biological, mechanical and chemical.
2. Think about the different types of filters and functions. Wet filter dry filters are compatible with salt water tanks, since they give biological chemical and mechanical. Though quite expensive but entail less maintenance operation than other types.
3. Mechanical filters are designed to remove impurities through wire filter and particulate filter.
4. Chemical filtration process uses activated carbon to remove only unwanted residues dissolved in water.
5. Set up first the biological filter before adding fish to the tank. Biological filters use bacteria to break ammonia and nitrates. If you want to add more fish too soon, bacteria can not keep, then the ammonia level will rise in the tank thus killing the fish.
6. In purchasing an aquarium kit, you get a filter plate. This type of biological filter that makes the water is rich in oxygen through gravel.
7. You can opt for some sponge filters. Sponge filters are efficient and cheap.
With the above tips, finding the best filter the fish will be easy for you.

I have a small aquarium and want to know why the fish eat it themselves?
Yes I have had these gray fish with black stripes and the Most of them ate themselves up? I'm like WTF? I gave him food and more. I was sad, but now I have new ones. Fish that are violent? Do I have to put a splitter once I see anything suspicious?
It's never going to eat the fish themselves – so if that's what you're trying to say, I'm calling tricks about you and say you're full of it. It seems you're describing tiger barbs, a semi-aggressive tropical fish. They tend to attack other fish, especially if they feel the other fish is entering its territories or if the other fish is lower / slower. If you continue to see the aggression, especially aggression Barb Barb, have proven their water parameters, such as poor water quality can lead to increased aggression. Take a sample of your tank water for the local pet store and make the test pH, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. PH should be around 7.0, ammonia and nitrite in 0ppm, and nitrates in less than 40 ppm (if less than 20 ppm is best). If any of your parameters are higher, you need to do an investigation to find out how to make better use of water (usually water changes will help with ammonia, nitrites and nitrates, however).
