I have a 21 litre aquarium with one Betta in it. It has a built in filter and a pump with plastic tube which sits in the water and that sucks up the water passes it over the filter and back. It's just broken. What should I do? It's stopped working before when I did a water change and the water was halfway it stopped till it was filled up and then it worked. Again the other day the electric went and the pump stopped working. I took it out and put it back and it worked. Just now I knocked the plug and it went off and won't come on again. It can't be the fuse because it's got a built in light and they run off the same plug and that works.

So what do I do now?? I've tried everything to get it going. It's only a few weeks old too. I got the aquarium on ebay. What do I do about my Betta and mature media??

OMG I just turned around and it's working again!!!! Why does it do that.
 
Could be air getting caught in it?
 
Try reaching in & giving the impeller a spin with your finger, a pen, or other small object after plugging it in.
