Replace sponge

[finfayce]

I bought this sponge filter for a small aquarium and one guppy. I was trying to save the guppy but it died.
The company company that sold it says don't replace sponge. It has beneficial
bacteria i think they meant at water change- no need to replace. In my case a fish died in the tank with this filter.
i have to search for a replacement with a
different product.
I found out the hard way bleach destroys sponge.
do you agree using the original sponge is not a good idea?

Hey-i just found Amazon has 3 entire filters
at 40% off. So that's how I'll handle my sponge dilemma
thanks anyway.

Just for info...

NEVER use bleach to clean anything in a tank due to the chlorine.

Don't replace sponges. When you do a water change just squeeze and swish around the sponge in removed water. This will remove the particles yet leave bacteria.
