Hi everyone! Would I be able to put a Betta in a 14L tank with a 180L/PH (it’s an aqua one clear view 100 hang on filter)? Don’t want the current to be too strong for him [emoji4]
 
I'd use just a cheap sponge filter for bettas, you want very minimal flow

A 14L tank would be too small for a hang on back filter with a betta. I have a HOB for my 10 gallon (37.8L) and my betta likes to go into the flow every now and then almost as a game (they are incredibly smart fish). I agree a sponge filter would be best in a tank of that size or less so, but still good, an in tank filter with an adjustable flow like i have in my 2.5 gallon (9.4L) its rated for up to 10 gallons. Heavy planting would cut down flow though for any size filter and bettas love to hide
