Compact internal filter

[ram_g0p]

I am looking for a compact internal filter for my daughter's 5 gal tank in which she keeps her pet ADFs (2). The tank is an Aqueon 5.0 kit and the filter it comes with is a joke. I added a Marina S10 HOB to it, but it prevents from the hood being closed and there's large gap in the back. We are worried the frogs may jump out! I looked for internal filters. I considered Tetra Whisper i10 and Marina I25 - both with good reviews, but somewhat large for the 5 gal tank and would take up quite a bit tank space. So I decided on some (more) compact ones. I was at Petsmart and happened to see a very compact Top Fin internal filter 10.
Top Fin® Multi-Stage Internal Filter | Filters | PetSmart

I am also considering AquaTop internal filter IF201
Aquarium Internal Filter IF-201

They both seem very compact. The aquatop one may be too small??! I would like to know your experiences/thoughts on these two and if there is any preference. Any other suggestions? Thanks so much.

I have a hagen mini in my 5.5, pretty sweet little filter, adjustable flow rate and all..

Thank you! Are you referring to this:
Amazon.com : Hagen Elite Underwater Mini Filter, UL Listed : Aquarium Filters : Pet Supplies

I saw this but didn't consider as it was rated for up to 3 gal only. Is there a bigger one than this or is this good enough for your 5.5 gal?

That's it..
