Best (and cheapest) filter for a 3 gal tank, Betta fish?
Im getting a male betta fish tomorrow, putting him in a 3 gal tank with plants and gravel and a heater. (please see my other questions!)
I need to find a filter for under $20 at walmart, target, or petco! Something very small and not very visble, hideable. And something SILENT! Also, easy to clean and maintain.
Experinced people please,
thanks
Something around 5 gallons would be more ideal for a betta and would be a good option for the future. As far as filtration goes you will not need anything big. A simple air powered filter will do but can be quite noisy. Quieter options include small internal filters and HOB (hand on back) filters.
With the right tank, proper filtration and heating your betta should live a happy and healthy life.
Here are some air powered sponge filters:
