Filter

What is the best filter for a 2.5 gal?
I cycled it with a air driven filter but I strongly dislike the bubbles.
Any suggestions?


I love my fish!!!

I use an Azoo Palm Filter ...sold under other names as well.

I sometimes have to shorten the intake. One nice thing , it has adjustable flow.

Youre suggesting filters that are 150 gph or 120gph in flow for a 2.5g tank? Are you trying to make a whirlpool?!?


I'm not a fan of deep blue filters, but in this case I think that might be your best bet.

Yeah I looked at those and they seemed way too big. I think I'm going to order the azoo Palm filter. It looks perfect

The Azoo Palm will work really well for that size tank. I had that filter on a 5 gallon tank and it was great. Very nice looking, very small, works well. It lasted for years too.

If the waters topped off. Idk I ran a C4 on a 10g just fine, turned the flow down at feeding time and then if I changed the filter and disturbed the bottom I would just crank it up and voooommmmm all the junk got sucked up.

The AC 20 (I know I said 30) is 100gph and the C2 is 106gph I would go C2.

The problem is that the only things that will fit in a tank that size is a betta, snails, and shrimp. Flow that powerful will kill both the shrimp and the betta.

Even a reef tank is suggested to max out at 40x the tank volume in flow per hour and those filters go beyond that. Freshwater tanks really shouldn't go much beyond 10x
