Filter

The filter in my betta tank is wayyy to powerful and every single sponge filter i find is too tall for my tank. I'm thinking of taking the filter out because after reading the betta basics it is said they aren't essential. Is there a problem with it?

I will probobly take the filter out and just keep looking for a small sponge filter if there is nothing wrong with this

ive got a small sponge filtrer, the same as i use for my 7L betta tanks, they are 6 inches tall and a great filter, do you want me to pm you the details? they are going on my website but not for a day or 2, website going live again tonight at some point but these arent on there yet.

ah yes please, it all depends on my mass shopping spree tommorow and how much i have remaining lol

but i think i shall turn the filter off now and then purchase one of those of you if i have money left!

Rather than a filter I sometimes use an air stone, turned down to almost nothing. You just get a bubble every few seconds and the bettas dont seem to mind this. I usually just do this when I am treating them for an illness. Whereas my fancy goldfish like whirlpools....
