McTurtle Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) I've always kept sponge filters in my betta tanks and thought that'd be best for them, since they seem to like less flow. However, any time I've kept a halfmoon betta I've had problems with tail rot, no matter how often I change the water or what medications I treat with. It seem I have finally stumbled upon the solution - small HOB filters. My guys are in 5 gallon tanks and I'm using the AZOO Mignon Filter 60 with a bunch of filter material stuffed in the outlet (and I changed the internal filter material that came with it out for Seachem matrix) and the tail rot is gone! My betta is back to 90% and still recovering and he was in a bad way before. I'm so happy! No more sponge filters alone for my bettas! Just had to share.

Percilus Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) My crowntail does well with the marina slim s10 on a 5.5 g at the moment. Has pretty slow adjustable flow. More so than say a aquaclear Edited December 17, 2014 by Percilus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingIsFishy Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Mine has a slim 10 in his 5 g. Picked him up free off kijiji and its nice to see his fins growing back. He used to live in one of those little plastic betta tanks with plastic plants.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
