5 gallon filter

[BetasRock]

Hello everyone its me again I've got a five gallon tank with my betta in there and i dont have filtration system does anyone know where i can find one that would work...it needs to be an inside one not one that hangs on the edge of the tank...its a hex tank but the back pane is the longest then two short panes on the side and then two diagonal ones and then a shorter one on the front..it came with a undergravel filter but my dad threw it away a long time ago...and its really hard to find one that will fit its style..thanks!!

a small sponge filter or box filter will work for that size tank not sure were you live but about £10.00 or $20.00 if that side of pond should get all the equipment IE pump filter and airline.........

Those are great and if the current is too much you can break it with a plant. And if the intake at the bottom is too much you can wrap something like pantyhose around it so it doesn't suck up his finnage.

Well ive finally bought the Whisper 10i in filter tank and ive filled my water up to 5 gallons....but the current seems to be a little strong it throws him around.....i have a plastic plant in the front of it but it doesn't seem to be slowin anything down...any other suggestions to help slow the current?? and the most current is on the gravel floor and it tips him sideways and when i put his food at the top it just goes round and round the top...any suggestions would be very helpful thanks!!

Sponge...filter....=]. Search around in the diy section. Type in 'sponge filter' I remember someone posted alot of it. Really good info. http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showto...47402&hl=sponge I think this is the one.
