I had read here that you should look for an adjustable filter since Betta don't like current in their water. I found a Tom's Rapid Power Filter that is adjustable. It will filter up to 20 gallons and this is a 5 gallon tank. I have turned the flow adjuster till it looks like very little current but I'm wondering how well it will filter at such a slow rate. What filters do some of use use on your tanks?
I also have a question about water changes. I change 20% of the water weekly in my Goldfish tank. I add stress coat to the water I am putting back into the tank because it says it helps replace the slime coat om the fish as well as remove the Chlorine. Does anyone use this product and is it okay to use in the Betta tank? I also always wondered if I should continue to just treat the water I am putting back in or whether to fill the tank and than treat the who tank with Stress Coat?
I should have known that once I had the little tank up and running that I wouldn't be able to wait for the tank to cycle before getting my fish, so I am going over to Lancaster where they sell the Bio Spira. I'll add it to the tank and wait a few days to get my Betta.
Thanks so much for your help,
