LYNDYLOO Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Use a piece of pipe to syphon up the Fish Waste. I used to take the pipe off the end of my Gravel Vac, and use that. They dont need to be in alot of water at this stage, depth wise I mean. I would have the depth somewhere round 10cm. Water Changes everyday would be good too.

JarrenB Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 the water is more like 20cm high, so the filter & heater can fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Sweet, that will be all good then. I just laid my heater on the tank floor when I was raising Baby Angels. I didn't have a filter in my tank, as long as you are doing small water changes everyday and syphoning out the Waste you shouldn't need a filter yet. I would think about a filter for them when they're a little bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMAZONIAN Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Congratulations You seem to be doing it right so far. I put my heater along the back wall on it's side without any ill effects. Now your biggest task is keeping their bellies full of food at least 15 hours out of 24; and doing a 20% water change every 2 days with a small syphon hose. This also picks up the detritus from the bottom of the tank. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 All sounds like its going well. I also run sponge filters off an air line in the back corners and an air stone under the heater, this keeps a bit of water movement in the tank. The young angels will also graze at the filters.

SamH Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Congrats. Try and use the Macro function on your camera a crank the ISO up to the max. I've found that setting your camera like this is really good for photographing fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
