Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Listing describes double filtration: a circular bio cotton sponge plus a chamber with bio-ceramic balls.
  • + Two sponges are included so one can stay on the filter while the spare is swapped in, per the listing.
  • + Runs from an air pump with no motor in the tank, a common choice for fry, shrimp and betta tanks.

Trade-offs

  • - An air pump is required and is not part of this listing, so it adds to the cost.
  • - This is the larger size than the 8 to 20 gallon model it replaces, so check that it fits a smaller tank.

Prices change often, so check the current price and availability on Amazon.
