as you can see i could put a different kind of filter in the left on the picture in the link above. i dont mind internal filters. the one i have is a over head filter

in my tank i have 3 neons and 3 albino corys and 2 baby ones and quite a lot of pest snails 73.1L 5-6 plants

was looking at this :

well I estimate you tank to be 25 Gallons (correct me if I'm wrong). If you like HoB filters, Marineland and Aqua Clear make very good filters for most tanks. If you would like an internal filter Fluval makes very good ones. Lastly if you are looking for a really good filter I would suggest looking into a canister filter. There expensive and your looking at 75+ bucks but they are very good. You could get a marineland Magnum filter for 75 bucks and that should be more then adequate. Keep in mind that you need to keep your filter media from your previous filter or you will restart a new cycle and will cause your fish to go through it. If you still have it you can place it all into the new filter for an instant cycle or you can seed the new filter by squeezing the bacteria out of your previous filter into the new one. But if your old filter has been outside of a working filter for 24 hours then you may be out of luck.

Aquaclear is the best HOB filter you can buy.
