This is the filter I had http://www.discountleisureproducts....ll_I5NtQDmn9guMRWqB1n-nsTJxBLFkYaAhN3EALw_wcB The water did not move and the tank became slimey and a film was on the top of the water. I asked the questions on here as to why it had become slimey and was told it was due to the filter not making enough movement.

Did you have the spray bar above the water line? For a Betta you dont need more than this http://www.theaquariumshop.com.au/shopexd.asp?id=6801&name=Aquarium+Bio+Sponge+Filter+Single What was your tank maintenance like?
