Re: [Killietalk] Raising Nothos in high temperature water?

I keep a small homemade sponge filter in all my tanks.  In the
shoeboxes I only keep airstones.  I normally change about 30% of the
water 6 times a week (I take Friday nights off...LOL).  I know that is
overkill but it keeps all of the fish happy.
