Is the azoo palm filter good for bettas?

[Bettafanatic]

I have a couple of mini bow 2.5 gallons which I am going to cycle. I'm putting a betta in each tank. I heard from almost everyone that the filter it comes with is garbage so I want to get another one. I heard the azoo palm filter is good. I need a filter that doesn't have too much flow (fit for betta fish) and can fit in a mini bow 2.5. Does the azoo palm filter meet these requirements? If not, does anybody recommend any other small filters? Thanks!

But my tanks are 2.5 gallons I dont think that will fit if it's made for 5 gallons

you can turn it down (i leave mine on the lowest setting) it just kinda drips out, i don't think you will have a problem with too much flow as long as its not turned up all the way

I love these filters! I have one on both of my betta tanks. If you do find that having it on full blast is blowing your fish all around, you can always use a baffle to cut down on the current. That way you have the optimum amount of filtration, while keeping your betta happy.

Ok I will consider the azoo palm filter. Does it have a way to adjust the flow?

Yes, it has a small dial of sorts that you can turn. It adjusts the amount of water that enters the filter, and thus the overall flow. Like I said though, this will reduce the overall filtration capacity. I keep the one on my 2.5g on full blast, I just use a plastic water bottle to create a baffle. That way you have maximum filtration with a minimal amount of current.

Ok I'm definitely getting the azoo palm filter. Thanks, adadkins!

No problem, I know you will enjoy it. Easy to assemble, quiet, and economical. Glad I could help.
