    Anyone knows some freshwater filter feeders that i can buy and put in my tank?? 'cause i have a crazy idea..since my water always gets cloudy and my filter does nothing about it..i plan to resort to some natural help X.X since filter feeders 'filter' the water, i think they will make the water clearer. I'm planning to ship fairy shrimp but any other kinds that are available locally?

    can try bamboo shrimps but i dont think they can help clean up your water much, including fairy shrimps.. best is to get a better filter.

    I would if i can...but the thing is that my triops (tadpole shrimp) are not really suited for most filters or the filters don't clean the problem..
    corner filters heat up the water and may cause high speed currents...and my species of triops can only live at 30 degrees ++
    hanging filters always don't clean enough and does not solve the problem..
    bubble filters also don't clean enough..and undergravel filters should be fine..but the only problem is that the sand will go through...
    why don't use gravel? 'cause triops need sand to bury their eggs X.X
