Is You Betta Tank Filtered?

[vanvran]

Nope.
My 2.5G and my 5G both came with filters. I don't use either of them. Just a waste of space if you ask me.

My 2.5g also came with a filter since its a minibow but I didn't like it because even on its lowest setting my bettas kept getting stuck under it. So no I don't filter any of my bettas tanks.

Hmm, well I bought a Whisper filter and put it in his tank. You're all right--it takes up so much room! He's been swimming over there constantly to check out the new intruder and gets pushed around by the current--I can't see much of a current, just a few bubbles. I'm sure he isn't happy about it, but I feel like I've tried everything, and this is the last thing left to try. I fear he just always was a sick little guy who catches infection very easily.

Wisper filters don't even work that great IMO.

Its nice you can ajust the flow though

Can you? I couldn't find anyplace to adjust it! Well, i guess it's better than no filter.

Yes, on the twards the bottom. Its a very little sliding thing, it took me almost a year to know It had it.

Oh, that's great! thanks for telling me that--of course, you think that would be in the "INSTRUCTIONS"! Why don't you think they work well? Don't they pick up the gunk? Or did it not show good water readings?

They just don't. In tank filters don't have the push and pull the hang-on filters do.
Of course, then your talaking current...
They're good filters for now...but they don't get much stuff from the gravel (Gravel clean can be gross).

Yeah I wish I had a whisper filter so I can change the intensity. Well if your still asking if my tanks are filtered, then my 3gallon is it houses 2 bettas in it with of course a plastic canvas divider. The others are either 5gallon bowls or 1gallon betta keepers. I change those every week on sunday night or monday morning. Then there good for another week.

Are you saying that you don't use a filter in the 5 gallon tank?

They just don't. In tank filters don't have the push and pull the hang-on filters do.

I couldn't find the current control thing. This is for my 5 gallon tank--it's a filter for 2-10 gallons. Are you talking about that size Filter? Someone told me they think I have to take the filter apart to change the current.
