Faq – About Aerator Pump
Jenny asks…
is there any way to make a backyard pond without using a frame,pump, or aerator?
i want to make a backyard pond but also want to save money so is there any way to make one for a few goldfish only without using a backyard pond frame, and aerator, or a pump?
Staff answers:
Yes, you can. You really need a butyl rubber liner so the water stays where you put it. With one bunch of submerged vegetation per square foot of pond surface and at least 50% of the surface covered with floating vegetation, you will be fine. For more info see my web site at http://www.pondlady.com
James asks…
Does someone online sell a 30 gal. Aquarium W/ Top and light and pump/aerator?
Would this be big enough for 2 plecostamous, 3-4 catfish? What kinds of other fish should go in with the pleo and cats???
Staff answers:
People on craigslist do all the time, 30 gallons would be big enough for one dwarf pleco, all non dwarf plecs need a larger tank. You should never have more than one pleco in a tank, They may seem to be getting along fine, but plecos hate other plecos, and will fight to the death during they night.
Almost any fish can live with a pleco in an aproprit size tank, slow moving,larger flat fish like discuss, or goldfish are not recomended because they somtimes start sucking at their slime coat. There a millions of species of catfish so I cant exactly answer that question, sorry
Mary asks…
so, if i dont need an aerator in my saltwater aquarium, then i also dont need an air pump?
Staff answers:
That’s correct. A good power filter will do much more for oxygenating your tank.
