I purchased a 55 gallon aquarium and had wanted to set it up for some black fin sharks, I purchased all my supplies at a local wallymart(worst mistake ever but we dont have a LFS within 160 miles) and I had a 55 gallon tank so I purchased a 30-60 gallon filter or somthing. Well my sharks didnt last too long. The condition they were in when I got them was pretty pathetic and unfortunantly I lost them both in a week.
Well I got some female bettas and dropped em in( after acclimating them) and I have had 9 female bettas in the tank. The filter cartiges are giant and Im using two in my filter and it suggests changing them after 2 weeks which I have been for te past 4 months. With only 9 fish do I have to keep changing the filter as much or should I wait a little longer?
I do plan on putting one 4 or 5 inch tiger oscar in the 55 gallon tank sometime today and moving the females to a couple empty 10 gallons. If that further describes my situatio n
THANKS!
