underground filter

ffffrf

hey i was woundering well can you get an underground filter at a lfs because i am going to check but last time i went there i did not seem to find one but i will check again

and one more question can you put like angel or gurami or cichlid fish with like platties and guppies or mollies or are they both completly different or can they be in one tank

i think the undergravel filters are outdated technology ..........

i had angels and gouramis together with no problems

Under Gravel Filters are very dated technology with a fatal flaw.

Power filters with Bio-wheels are the way to go on smaller tanks up to 75g However anything 55g or larger is a good candidate for a Cannister filter. Possibly both.....

one more thing are gurami and angel and cichilids freshwater and can you ceep cichlids with angels or gurami or molly ar platy fish

i am no pro at all with cichlids, but form the reading on here, that answer would be NO!!! you will most likely wake up tomorrow with just cichlids in your tank, lol.

Gouramis, Angels, and Cichlids are all Freshwater fish. Angels are one of many species of Cichlid! Most Cichlids are territorial and as a result very aggressive. Some are Hyper-aggressive.

Even though Angelfish are cichlids, many cichlids cannot be mixed together either. It depends entirely on the specific species you are considering.

What size tank do you have?
What type of tank do you want?
What is your filtration?
What are the parameters of your local tap water? (pH, GH, KH)

i am asking this for the future in like a year i am going to get a 75 gallon tank
