Some general questions...

**szesteve** · 11th Oct 2002, 23:04

1) Where can I get cardinal tetras either in the east or west area? I want those smaller ones. I tried Gen X & C328 already, both don't have.

2) Can I use a Eheim 2224 filter for a 2 x 1 x 1 feet tank?

Thanks!

1) Call Gan's and ask.

2) It's actually meant for a tank 5 times your tank volume. Personally, I'd go lower like a Eheim Ecco 2231 external, Eheim 2006, 2008 internal or Eden 304 or 316 internal filters.

But, if you already bought the 2224, you can still use it, but you'll have to restrict the flow, else you'll end up with a whirlpool in your tank.

2224 for a 2 footer is an overkill but..... still can be used. Do what Vincent says, reduce the flow.

Normally Gan has small cardinals. Price not sure, but normally he sells in bulk. He would sell them loose to if you ask.

Thanx guys/gals, however how do I restrict the flow for the 2224?

I actually found the 2224 in the storeroom of my house...

Use those taps from eheim.

No need. The 2224 has built-in flow control.
If you upgrade the tank to a 2.5ft or 3ft, the filter can still be used.

Cool! I think I'll go check it out, but then again since I already have a 2006 for my 2ft planted, I'll just stick to it, cos don't wanna cause too much disturbance with the 2224.

Will probably use it for my aro tank. Thanx guys/gals!

cardinal prices at gans.
10 for $7
30 for $20
50 for $30

go split with friend 50, very worth it.

**szesteve** · 12th Oct 2002, 16:19

Hmmm...very far leh....anyway, I only planning to put 12 inside my 2ft tank cos I still wanna add a pair of discus...

**anakin** · 12th Oct 2002, 17:48

Aren't you afraid the discus might eat up the small cardinals? Just a thought...

**Cardinal Tetra** · 12th Oct 2002, 18:27

yeah and a discus is too big for a 2ft tank when fully grown.

**ZeRoC00l** · 12th Oct 2002, 20:44

I have my dicus inmy 2 feet.... no complains from it yet.....

As for cardinal tetras, cheapest I know in the east is at the shop beside Yuppies cycle. $1.20 each

Mr Fish also got sell, but more $$ it's $2.50 each

Guys, I got some cardinals from a fren and realised that they had white spots upon putting them in the tank. I immediately removed them.

However, I'm worried that the tank might carry the white spots. Can someone please confirm this? The tetras were in the tank for about 5 mins.

**Cardinal Tetra** · 12th Oct 2002, 21:40

u could try H20. $1 each. but their out of stock currently.

**BFG** · 12th Oct 2002, 21:58

Szesteve, Kelstorm is using 2224 4 the 2ft tank. PM him!

**vinz** · 12th Oct 2002, 22:43

Steve,

if you're worried about the white spots, then give your tank the salt treatment for about 2 weeks. if it does not show up by then, you should be quite safe. Search the medical forum for 'salt' for dosage info.
