Aquarium Filter
What type of aquarium filter should i buy?
I am going to buy a 10 gallon aquarium and put a chinese algae eater, 2 male swordtails, 1 male and 1 female dwarf gourmis, an albino rainbow shark, and 2 nerite snails. The aquarium will have a 5 inch bubble stone and a 15 gallon air pump. The aquarium will be heated to 78 degrees. There will be no Live Plants. I am leaning towards getting an aqua-tech 5-15 gallon box filter, but im not sure. I have heard alot of good things about bio-wheels. Im completely lost over wut kind of filter i should have. You guys always like specifics, hope that was specific enough, lol. Thanks for any answers!
Aqua-tech filter should be fine,they are just a cheap filter but I have one in with my cichlids and it works well.The only problem with them I find is there is no flow regulator to turn down the current which I like when I am keeping bettas.Make sure what ever filter you decide on the cartridges are easy to get in your area.
