Although i dont keep such fishes, i do observe that people tend to use ohf (over head filter) for such fish.
Hey folks,
I plan on keeping 1 or 2 kelberi bahia gold and 1 or 2 spotted tilapia in a 4ft tank. I don't intend to decorate it much, except for a bed of sand and drift wood and rocks, and just a few plants.
What I can't decide on is the filter, though — should I get a top or bottom filter? I know these fish crap a lot, so which kind of filter is advisable?
Is there any other thing peculiar to these fish that I should take note of (other than the fact that they are territorial and grow to enormous sizes)?
Thank you!

Thanks Lucas! I guess that's most probably what I'd go for. Sounds more manageable anyway.
You are welcomeAlso, you can experiment with different types of filter media to increase the efficiency of your filter, as opposed to using under gravel filter.
I've also been pondering the possibility of a canister filter, but have absolutely no experience or knowledge in using one. I've heard it's a lot more convenient to clean and replace filter media if and when necessary. What are your thoughts on it?
Following up on the thread, would any peacock bass keepers here be able to advise if it might be ok to have a substrate of sand? Or is a bare bottom tank preferable in this case?
Just to recap, I'm hoping to keep one or two kelberi, two or three spotted tilapia, and a couple of marble gobies.
Would a bed of sand and some drift wood and hardy plants like java fern and anubias be ok? Or is a bare tank really the best option?
