    If you use a sump the hair is easily cleaned out. The main problem is getting the snorkel, goggles and flippers to fit properly

    I don't think any filter or sump will get rid of the wet dog smell out of the water though! LOL!!!

    Best solution is to put your creepy crawly in the tank to get rid of the hair LOL

    The sheepdog is a known predator - the cat fish won't stand a chance. As long as it can fit in it's mouth it's a goner! I've heard stories that the sheepdog often 'plays' with cat fish by chasing them around. That being said though, the catfish is know to hide in the branches of any wood lying around and will often retaliate when attacked......

    I believe dog poo will cause aquatic plants to grow better, so this is actually sorted out at least.
