About Jennifer Schanely
Expertise
I have worked for sixteen years in a pet store where I am the fishroom manager. I can answer most questions pertaining to saltwater fish and coral care, feeding and behavior. I am knowledgeable in setting up and maintaining reef and fish only tanks and can usually identify creatures that come off of live rock. I am experienced on culturing live copepods for feeding of some invertebrates and know how to set up a culture. I am only slightly knowledgeable on disease treatment with prevention being my specialty. My approach to the marine tank is that of simplicity. Keeping a marine environment is easy and I encourage anyone intersted in this hobby to give it a try!

Experience
Besides owning various types of tanks,I have worked as a fishroom manager in a pet store for the past sixteen years. I answer questions to many fish related problems on a daily basis. At our store we have many fresh water tanks, salt fish tanks, corals, and other invertabrates. I also know alot about different products on the market and what works and what doesn't.

Education/Credentials
I think sixteen years experience is far more education than any school could have taught me.

Question
I heard that there was a pump or filter for fishbowls.I have a 1 gallon taank and i wanna put guppies in it can u show me a picture of those pump or filter.

Answer
Hi Adrian. There are several types of filters that will fit on a small tank. A fish bowl is another story due to the fact that it is oddly shaped at the top and can not support a regular filter. I can not send picture through this site so all I can do is direct you towards the sites containing pictures of what are known as nano filters.

go here and scroll down. You will see a filter called smallworl pump and filter kit. This one will suction cup onto a flat surface inside the tank if your tank is completely round then you may want to look at another type.

Go here to see the undergravel type fish bowl filters. If you have an actual tank then you could use the regular hang on the back filters.

Go here to view the internal filters that are suitable for small tanks.
