What is a good filter for a 10g

[KKAY27]

Hey my filter for my 10g just broke and I was wondering what would be a good one? I keep about 7 guppies in it and they have fry in it so I don't want them to get sucked up but u want it to clean good! I don't want it to be to expensive either

IMO, you would do great with a sponge filter. It's got strong biofiltration and only a gentle current so fry wouldn't get sucked up at all. It's also really, really cheap.

I personally like the tetra whisper HOB filters. You could put something like a sponge over the intake to prevent the babies from getting sucked in.

Where could I get a sponge filter? Could I get one at petsmart?

I'm not sure; I couldn't find them at petco but I haven't checked petsmart. You do need an air pump to run it and you can find them at petsmart for sure.

Petsmart and Petco do not carry sponge filters

Sponge filters are simple to make. There are a plethora of videos available on YouTube showing each step. A cheap HOB with something filtering the intake to prevent fry getting sucked in would work equally as good. Reuse your old filter pad to prevent the cycle process from reoccuring
