Dave+Amy Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Have invested in a 10/15L nano tank for my male fighter, will be fully planted with dwarf sags and some anubia nanas and various others. What filtration do people recommend? Would I be fine with doing daily water changes if I don't ue a filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 a small sponge filter would be ok , or small internal filter as bettas dont like water moving much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 What is a nano tank? I often hear them mentioned here - are you able to post a pic please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 A nano tank is just a SMALL tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museeumchick Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 how small is small? i have seen a really cute tiny one (about 20cm cubed) and am tempted, very tempted.... but what would one put in such a tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 usually just plants ,and some put bettas and small fish like microrasboras etc in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave+Amy Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Mine's a cube and holds 10L...do people think I could get away with not having a filter if I'm going to be doing daily water changes? and the tank will be fully planted...will put the nano pic up once fully pimped out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Just make a small canisterfilter so theres only pipes in the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 yeah i dont reckon you'll need a filter... fighters like still water any ways... (u are puttin a fighter in?).... I wouldnt bother for a 10L nano... just change water once in a while... feed only as much as eaten immediately.... shove a tonne of plants in there though, lol... like a jungle..

Dave+Amy Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 haha yeah it won't take long to do a water change anyway..could attempt to make a canister out of a small can 8) but I'm not technologically blessed. Yeah it's for my lil boy..CosmOpolitan (cos he's red and that's one of my fav drinks - my dog's named after Midori ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
