Aquarium Advice Apprentice
hi guys, I know this is gonna sound kinda a newbie ish, but I have a atta in a 5gal and he seems happy enough, he's got a side filter I believe its a whisper 5-15gal model and its like on its lowest setting and there are plants under it so it deosn't create much of a current. Hoever it does disrupt the surface and discourages my buddy parrot from creating bubblenests (from which I derive immense joy). I was wondering if I could get rid of the filter all together and just do more water changes or if there was soemthing better out there. He's in a tank with only an applesnail so I don't have to keep any other fish in mind.
