| Bearded Frog Hobbyist Posts: 147 Kudos: 134 Votes: 0 Registered: 08-Apr-2004 | Whats the gph on it? If its the one I think it is its 90gph. If your fish are really small you might be able to find a big sponge filter to use instead, but im not sure if it'd be enough.. |

| jefferysgirl Hobbyist Posts: 124 Kudos: 91 Registered: 22-Jun-2004 | Those two tetras are still alive and my duct tape idea is still working. The tank is clean, one of my tetras is a bully and both are little pigs at feeding time. |

| jefferysgirl Hobbyist Posts: 124 Kudos: 91 Registered: 22-Jun-2004 | I have had it a little less than three weeks. I really just started the cycling. When I am done I am going to get some more black skirts to make it a school. maybe that will curb my bully tetras nipping. His being a pest  :%) |
