When you mean cage, do you mean the container?

 

[attaching a sponge filter to a cannister filter]

I don't know anything about those totes.  But if I had something like that I would plumb an elbow up from that drain and then leave a coupling a few inches above your substrate.  Then have a few pieces of PVC of different lengths... you can slide them into the coupling, turn the valve, and it drains to the level of whatever pipe you put in.  Can guard it for fish if needed. 

I have a python that I can setup that can drain or put water in.

Hi everyone; in a previous post i said i gotten some young green sunfish recently. they are only maybe 2 inches big i was thinking of using the 200 Rubbermaid livestock container as an outside tank for them. i was going have it planted with so tiger lilies, anacheris, spiral Vallisneria, rough horsetail and driftwood with some Fissidens fontanus.any thoughts on this making setup better would be appreciated.TIA

[Possible identifying these fish]

I was looking on how big they got on average.All i saw that they were gonna get 12 long so that"s why i asked.

[Possible identifying these fish]

Have you had them? If you have, how big do they get?

looks like a cichlid of some sort.

@tolstoy21@Zenzo

Google lens was identified them as green sunfish or round tailed paradise fish.

That's why I was asking.

hi everyone, i had gotten these fish from a lfs. These fish were in a tank that housed fish. I was looking at them and didn't think were feeder. I wanted get a possible id on these fish. Thanks in advance 

[I'm consolidating some of my tanks into 1]

So i have 2 10 gallons, a 15 gallon,and a 5 gallon and i was thinking of just combining of all them into a 40 gallon.so the contents of the tanks are

first 10- 3 indian glass fish

second 10- 5 x-ray tetras and i molly

5 gallon- 5 ember tetras, and a scralet badis

15 gallon- 6 neon tetras, 1 garra flavatra, 1 albino paradise fish.

The 40 gallon is gonna be heavly planted with driftwood and stone.So my paradise fish is actually very mellow and chill. My only concern that might change if i combine the tanks into 1. what contingent plan should i have if it goes south?

Hmm...I have some questions to help guide my suggestion. 

Do you want to do some breeding? Lots of breeding? None at all? If it happens it happens?

Do you prefer lots of movement or not?

How colorful are you wanting??

Do you prefer pretty fish or ones with good personality?

I was thinking  some bluespotted sunfish or pygmy sunfish along those lines.

Shell dwellers…

Splash tetras!

I have gravel and rooted plants. I thought shelles dig a lot.

[10 gallon planted stocking idea]

I wanted some unique stocking ideas for this 10 gallon. TIA

 

 

 

[10 gallon plants?]

you can do some hornwort or moneywort.

[Licorice gourami in a 20 high]

@Colu I have water lettuce so it will have lots of cover. Also I can buy a betta log to help. 

 

@nabokovfan87 I'm at 78 degrees  and my ph is 7.1

[Licorice gourami in a 20 high]

I have 8 neon tetras with a bolivan ram on this tank. Could I put a licorice gourami in this tank and things would  be peaceful. Thoughts?

[Apisto in 5 gallon planted tank?]

I wouldn't do an apistogramma in that. I would a 10 gallon for apistogramma  though.i would do a couple scarlet badis. They  have a personality of cichlid but in a smaller size.
