Re: Plant filtration WAS crenacara filamentosa

[Scott <zerelli@yahoo.com>]

I have had several tanks that had no filtration
whatsoever. These fish produced more than one species
of cichlid. Filters are really not necessary unless
you want a ton of fish. Water changes and nutrient
export via plant harvesting are probably far more
beneficial than even the best filter.
