I have another thread on finding fry this is a thread on the best way to set them up for winter.
So I added more water to the tote today from tap. I didn't fill as if it rains-I didn't want them to be close to the top. I still don't have a tank for inside, nor do I really know what filter I need. I was thinking of leaving them outside for a couple weeks and getting a filter to place in the tote. As they are so small, I will never get them all unless I start feeding them and they grow.
Should I place a new thread for filter questions? I'll put here anyways. I will also post some pics of the tote and what pics I have of the fry along with filter options and questions. Water is starting to get green and cloudy--how often should I change it? As I just added the 5 gals today.
Which filter is the best option is any of these and what size would I get for a 40 or 55 gal.? Can I put one while still outside and hide the pump under that green pot like the current pump? Also do I need the air stones to put in the center of the filters? I was going to get 2 filters. What size and suggestions for an air pump to run them, do I still need a separate air stone? I wasn't going to use a heater or rocks on the bottom, but a lighted cover and live plants. Without gravel, how do you get the plants to sink? That may seem like a stupid question, but I haven't had an aquarium in many yrs. Last, what is the best check valve?
You have to look close to see the fry. Let me know if you see them.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
