A year ago, I was letting my betta fish swim around in unfiltered water that I changed once a week. Not ideal, I know, but within acceptable standards of habitat maintenance. Then I found the Tetra Whisper In-tank Filter 3i at my local pet store, and decided to buy it based on its small size, affordable price, and suitability for delicate fish. The Whisper In-Tank Filter is designed to handle up to three gallons of water, and at 2. Packaging includes a filter, air pump V 60Hz 1. Its suction cups make it easy to attach to any flat-walled tank and easy to adjust the height of the filter if the water level changes.
I found that it has improved the quality of the water and made the tank easier to clean, as any filter might, with the added bonus of being easy to clean itself. Even the suction cups can be removed and cleaned individually with a brush. The cartridges are very simple to replace. The air pump vibrates, especially when placed on a hard surface, so I keep a folded-up washcloth underneath it to muffle the sound and to keep it from moving around.
Others place it on carpeted areas as the two-foot air tube allows. Fair warning: the air pump can wear out with constant use. I had to replace mine after having it for several months. The simplest way to replace the pump is to buy a whole new Whisper In-tank filter, because the air pump is not sold separately.
Other options for a small aquarium include the Top Fin Air Pump AIR and the Rena Air 50, which can attached to the filter with air line tubing just as with the original air pump.
