Aqueon Betta Filter with Natural Plants

Efficient Filtration Tailored for Small Betta Tanks

The Aqueon Betta Filter with Natural Plant is a compact, submersible filter crafted specifically for betta fish tanks and other small aquariums up to 3 gallons. This filtration system ensures clean, clear water while maintaining a gentle flow that won't disrupt the calm aquatic environment bettas require. With a built-in decorative faux plant and a discreet suction cup mount, it’s ideal for both functionality and aesthetics in nano aquariums.

What Are the Benefits of Aqueon Betta Filter with Natural Plant?

  • Low Flow Rate – Betta-Safe Design: This filter features a low flow rate, specifically engineered to be safe for bettas, whose long fins can be stressed by high current. The gentle circulation mimics their natural environment, promoting better health and reducing anxiety.
  • Improves Water Clarity and Quality: It efficiently improves water quality by removing uneaten food, fish waste, and debris. At the same time, it supports the growth of beneficial bacteria, creating a more stable and healthy aquatic ecosystem.
  • Decorative Faux Plant Attachment: The integrated faux plant is not only decorative but also provides a functional hiding spot for shy or stressed fish, enhancing their sense of security. It gives the aquarium a natural appearance without the maintenance associated with live plants.
  • Easy Installation and Maintenance: Installation is quick and user-friendly. With included suction cups, the filter adheres easily to the tank wall. Cartridge replacement is straightforward, making ongoing maintenance hassle-free.
  • Space-Saving Design for Nano Aquariums: The filter’s space-saving design makes it perfect for nano tanks, such as those used in dorms or offices. Its compact form ensures it doesn't overcrowd the tank, leaving more space for your betta to swim freely.

How to Use the Aqueon Betta Filter?

To begin, rinse the filter cartridge under cool tap water to remove any dust or particles from packaging. Attach the unit to the interior glass using the suction cups and place it where it won’t create too much surface agitation. Once positioned, plug in the device to initiate water flow. For best results, replace the cartridge every four weeks or as needed based on water clarity and bioload.
