What submerged water filter would you recommend? #1
Hi,

We have a 60L coldwater tank with 1 baby fantail in it.

Only had it a few weeks but know I need to get a water filter pretty sharpish. Submerged one would be preferable

Can anyone recommend one suitable for my needs?

Thanks a lot for any help or advice.

Jo

Hi

He's going to need a bigger tank and an external canister filter in the long term, but for now, this is a good option: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EHEIM-PICKU ... m:mVKrBUHrJnEvmdpcbcn4u9g

Please read this article about ammonia and nitrite spikes as in a new tank, until the filter becomes established he will be subject to those which will harm and potentially kill him: https://www.fishkeeping.co.uk/articles ... ammonia-nitrite-spike.htm
