Hi i have a 3' x 1' x 1' aquarium which is currently housing coldwater

goldfish however i am ready for the next step and having found new
homes for my goldfish i wish to refurbish my aquarium into a tropical
aquarium.

I am first and formost looking for a bigger/better filter for the tank
and am looking at a filter and heater combination that i have found for

around £29.99. Is this the way to go or would you buy a seperate
filter and heater? Are there any particular makes/models you would
recommend for a tank of this size?


Also are you aware of any good websites which catalog (with pictures)
the types of fish my new tropical aquarium will be able to house?


Thanks in advance!

I'd definitely buy separates, don't want your filter getting too hot. I
bought a decent heater for around 15 quid, with thermostat and everything,
got it from the big PetsAtHome store, I'm sure there'll be one in your area.

For picking fish, my favourite site is this:

http://www.fishlore.com/TropicalFishProfiles.htm

It's got all the fish you'd want, as well as the necessary info for each on
pH, tank size, things like that.

The site; http://www.fishlore.com/TropicalFishProfiles.htm, had some
great fish info (discus article was a little out of date), but I would
be a little wary of the articles here, the filters article and
especially the UV sterilizer articles was very off the mark.
