I can help you with cichlids, african cichlids, betta fish. I have bred most of them, including the Discus, and Angel Fish, and Rams. I have also bred many african cichlids. I have bred bettas too...well I am a fish nut! I can help you with most diseases, and have experience in setting up a tank. I can tell you tricks on keeping your water alkaline without products. I also speak and write french. I have experience with salt water fish, but would rather not get into that field. Please when writing to me, give me detailed information. The size of your tank, your water chemistry, etc. The more I know, the more I can help you. I cannot guess at what you have, so please give me information and I will do my outmost to help you with any question you ask me. Please do not ask me questions on Goldfish, mollies, platies, and guppies. Lynda

Fish - Aqua clear


Expert: Lynda - 7/3/2009

Question
Hi. I have a Betta and I am planning to put him in a 29 gallon and I want to know can I use a Aqua Clear 20 or do I have to get the Aqua Clear 30 because of the current. What do you use to control your current on your Aqua Clears? Thanks Linda

Answer
Hi Linda,
An Aquaclear 200 would do just fine with your betta.  You don't need to control the current.  Make sure that when you put him into his new home that your ammonia, nitrites, are zero, and the nitrates low.  When the water chemistry is perfect, do water changes of 25% every week, and check to be sure that the water is always free of ammonia.
