I have a 2.5 aqueon mini bow and the filter/suction area was grabbing my betta's fins. Not ripping them but maybe holding him there. My local fish wiz kid suggested using this Fluval at the end of that filter/suction area. I wont go without them for any new tank set up in this size and brand. It has been nice for my betta's to rest against without their fins being pulled in. It slides on/off and I will take it out and rinse it in lukewarm water at least 2x a month, but then again, I clean waste products out every day. If you dont, you will need to rinse probably each water change. Good quality, I think will stand up for months with no problem if maintained.

I use these in my aquariums. I had previously been using fluval brand which are more expensive. You dont really have to replace these, just rinse in a bucket with tank water if they slow your water flow and put them back on. My fish eat any food off of them so they rarely get clogged. They last a very long time and supplement mechanical filtration as well as providing additional surface for beneficial bacteria to grow. Highly recommend buying these offbrand filters over Fluva or any other brand because they are exactly the same.

I have a 2-1/2 gallon Aqueon mini-bow tank for one betta fish. I purchased this pre-filter sponge to go over the pump intake valve. It fits perfectly and is doing the job of keeping my betta fins from getting shredded. I highly recommend this product for a betta tank or for a fry tank.

Just like the original fluval version but the price is cheaper...excellent quality...arrived fast due to location...used on my intake tube on all 3 aquaclear 30 and 2 aquaclear 110

Works perfect on aquaclear series I tried it on the c4 in 3 days I noticed an extremely low discharge from the filter I took the sponge off and instantly the filter was not happy for about 10-20 seconds then began normal operation I’m sure glass bottom would be the only option worth trying... at your own discretion defiantly monitor the filter output for min a week
