1- whats the best kind of powerfilter i can get i was thinking of getting a biowheel but im not 100% sure i should get it if theres any better power filter.
2-How can i make sure that my peacocks eat only veggies when they eat so voraciously and are mixed with other fish who do need meaty foods?
3-I have a pregnant swordtail(i know she's pregnant because of black blotch near anal fin and her belly is huge) and it's been about 2 months since she's been like that. Can i expect a delivery soon? Also should i stick her in a breeder now or after the 1st baby is born?

Hi Sam-
Biowheels are excellent filters. They provide outstanding biological filtration, and aerate the tank at the same time. Make sure you get the right size for your tank...
You the only way to insure that your peacocks are eating 100% vegetable diet is to feed the tank that way. Fish are opportunistic feeders and will eat what ever they can in the tank. That being said, a bit of meat isn't going to kill them. In the wild they aren't going to pass on the chance to eat fry or mosquito larve believe me. Same for your other fish. I would alternate feedings, fedding more veggie flakes or pellets.. Again there are some excellent pellets, Hikari makes some that meet the needs of your whole tank.
3- Once (if) you find a baby, most likely the female has dropped her entire brood. By the time you find one, she's probably eaten most of the othet kids. Not to worry, there will be more in a few weeks or so. If you want to put her in a breeding tank, do it when you see the blackspot and her belly swells. The more pronounced the spot the sooner the babies are coming.
Good luck with your fish.

1. Answer: Basically, the Bio-Wheel is the best type of filter to purchase. There are other filters with the bio-wheel on them as well, so be sure you get a filter that will be best for you to take care of on a regular basis. The filter should run thru about 3-4 times the amount of gallons your tank is per hour. For example a 20 gallon tank should have a filter of about 60-80 gph. The more gph, the better.
2. & 3. I'm sorry but I have no suggestions.
