Sponge filters for Betta fish. Sponge filters are perfect for betta fish tanks. They provide the beneficial bacteria needed to keep the tank healthy and also promote good gas exchange. You can make a DIY filter or buy one. They work by attaching an air pump with air line tubing and can run 2-3 filters off one air pump. Due to the low water movement in a Betta fish tank you need to pay special attention to cleaning the substrate. Sponge filters are good for most sized tanks whether for primary filtration or as secondary filtration.

I'm assuming it's bc of the increased surface agitation from the new filter's bubbles, but do you think there is anything I can do to promote his creation of bubble nests again? I liked the visual cue of his level of contentment in his environment. Or is it simply not possible with a sponge filter running?
Thanks again for all the awesome content you guys put out.
Guess maybe I should try adding plants or something that touches the top of the water since around the old filter is where he used to make his nests? Tho I did put the filter casing back in there for a few days, just unplugged and empty, to see if he would make still chill up there bc that's where he used to sleep and make nests. He didn't tho. Now he sleeps in a little cave ornament.
Also I've seen mention of "silencing" sponge filters by cutting out the stock internals and putting an airstone instead for smaller bubbles. I'll probs try that too.
Sorry for the massive walls of text
I have the fluval spec 5 gallon tank and it came with a filter. The filter has a sponge with charcoal and bio media. I've been cleaning my filter by rinsing it off in the old aquarium water after water changed about once a week. Should I be replacing the charcoal at any point or do I continue to just rise it off? And I've been considering changing out the charcoal for a second bio media...thoughts?
Thanks so much! I'm relatively new to the fish community and have been doing lots of research but I've got some conflicting opinions!

I have three 10 gallon tanks and in one tank I have a brown algae problem and I'm looking some tips and for a good filter that will keep my water clear like your tanks (I really like how clean your water looks by the way). In one tank I have 1 betta with neon tetras, the other one I have planty fish(I think thats what its called its an orange fish) with a betta, and the last one I have a frog, a betta and a few tetras. What type of filter do you recommend that'll do the job and its on the less expensive side?

Watching your videos has made me decide to get another Betta, used to keep them years ago but a cheap import heater failed and killled them, haven't been able to bring myself to get another up until watching these videos, seeing how beautiful yours are makes me miss their fun little characters :)
