Betta Internal Filter recommendations

[Tropicalfishkeeping201]

Hello everyone,

I will be getting a betta for the first time this upcoming week. I wanted to ask you guys, what underwater Internal filters do you guys recommend for bettas?

 

Thank you in advance

Have a great day!

A small sponge filter should do just fine.

I agree, a small sponge filter will be more than enough. If you're really ambitious, you could try a walstad method tank, but I wouldn't recommend that for someone starting in the hobby.

I'll 3rd the sponge. Most Betta aren't going to be fans of flow which other internals offer. Especially if it has longer fins. My plakat Koi likes the flow in his tank (Aqueon Quiet flow 10) I see him using it as a treadmill at times during the day but he can avoid the flow as needed (10 gallon). Longer finned Bettas could have fin damage from too much flow.
