The only Fluval filters I have seen and used are external cannister types and they are amongst the very best perfoming filters available. I have never heard of an in tank Fluval.
The company Fluval is well known for its survey taking skills. It helps people earn extra income on the side to provide for their families as best as possible.
One can purchase Fluval filters at Amazon. There are multiple different makes and models being sold on Amazon, and if one is unsure of what to buy, there are customer reviews as well.
The Fluval 405 is an external canister aquarium filter that is widely available. If one is interested in finding information about this filter, the product is sold on the Petsmart website and there is a very thorough description of the product.
One can purchase a Fluval filter from the following retailers: Amazon, Tesco, Fish Fish Fish, Pet Smart, Pets at Home, Pet Co, Sea Pets, Swell UK, Aquatics, Pet Mountain.
People most commonly suggest 6 guppies, but with the oversized filter in the fluval edge, you might be able to get away with 8. Just try to keep 2 females for each male if you decide to try to breed them.
Two. They need a min. of 20 gallons each.
i would place the inlet closer to the bottom and the output closer to the top on the opposite side of the aquarium
Siamese fighting fish are carnivores. And like most pets, they should have a varied diet. So try a good pallet or flake made specifically for them, along with blood worms, red worms, brine shrimp and the like. X-treme Betta Pellets and Fluval Bug Bites are my Go-To personally!😁
I would place the filter in a back corner facing the outlet water stream along the back. This should create a small current in the tank. Please remember that once the filter is cycled and it needs cleaning, only rinse one of the filter pads. Then next time, do the other pad and so on alternating them. That way you will not loose all your good bacteria.
you can put it in a 5 gallon bucket and rinse it out with the garden hose. if it is still cloudy, add some water clarifier that will clump up all the debris.then the filter will suck it all up. do not put fish or plants in during this process- it will harm the fishes gills and make a carpet of dust on your plants.since the substrate is so light, it will clog a gravel vac. the plants should work as a filter.
I would suspect that their lifetime would be many years. The media rings should only be replaced if they are decomposing or are totally blocked and have lost all their ability to house the bacteria that forms as and where they are supposed to. The normal thing to do is to wash about 3/4ths of them well and then only rinse the other 1/4 before putting them back to work in the filter thereby keeping the cycled bacteria alive and working.
