The aquarium co op sponge filters are a really nice product. Wish they'd ship internationally. After running my aquaeon (i believe) sponge filter for about two years (actually it might be more than that), I can definitely say that the small details Cory prides himself in adding to the filter really help. I could barely fit my airstone inside the filter. The base itself wouldn't sink unless the sponge sunk. The fine sponge also isn't the greatest. Not so noticeable with a small bioload, but it definitely helps. What's your stocking on your 5.5?

Red cherry shrimp. It's a quarantine tank, too. My last purchase was about 3 years ago, Kuhli loaches from Aquahuna, and they all got along great.

I just discovered this thread, am not sure if aqadvisor.com has been mentioned yet. It's a fantastic tool for figuring out compatibility and stocking levels.



Also, wetwebmedia.com is an amazing resource for all things aquatic.



I've been cruising on aqadvisor ever since I started fish keeping. I do enjoy using it in moderation I didn't know of the other website

Oh you've kept kuhli loaches in a 5.5? I'd love to hear more about that, they interest me quite a bit, it's just that I've always heard they need a 20g aquarium and up

Oh scratch that, just got my answer

I have full grown Kuhlis in the 29g, but also have 6 brown Kuhlis in a 15g with RCS.

I only had Kuhlis in the 5.5g for quarantine. They were small!

In July 2022 my 29g started leaking, so I had to get another tank and strip down the old one. Here's what I had for Kuhlis at that time. The big Kuhli with the unusual markings was purchased in November 2016.

Thoughts on assassin snails? Anyone have experience in using them?

I think they're really cool. I love my two nerites, so I've never gotten them. But they do breed a lot

Brown Kuhlis in the 15g, from last January.
