In my fish room I only use sponge & box filters with the exception of a couple of HOB filters for certain tanks. All the sponge filters run off of one single Linear Piston pump which feeds into a PVC pipe loop with valves tapped into the pipes. This gives me a consistent and quiet level of air. For a long time I used some of the cheaper Chinese XY filters and the better alternative the Hydra Aquatics filters. Both of those do a good job and quality is decent but they fail soon enough. The XY sponges are cheap and fall apart after less then one year, same goes with the Hydra but a little lo ..read more

Ok first thing you need is a brine shrimp hatchery, If you want to purchase one then currently the best one on the market is the Ziss Blender and even with its little flaws it is a very good quality and useful hatcher. I do use the Ziss Blender, but you can still have ..read more

Many of the fish foods and guppy specific foods available today from commercial suppliers just dont cut it when it comes to being highly digestible and providing immune boosting capabilities. In fact I dont really know of any or of any specific for Guppies!
