I just bought two sponge filters , They will be going in my 20 gallon ( and eventually my 40 long) .. However I have never used a sponge filter before and I don't know how big of an air pump I need ... All I have read is you don't need a ton of air to run them.
Exactly true. In tanks that size you can run them pretty much without even worrying about water disturbance. Click the link in my signature to read all about them.
I had the same problem. I have a 20G but the sponge filter is for an 80G (the only one I found locally) and I have no idea what my pump is rated for. I'm guessing 20G
thats what I need to know ... What gallon rating am I looking for? if it doesnt need much output theoretically couldn't I even use like a 10 gallon with a t?
Where did that come from? Noone asked you to get them ... You asked what they were so I showed you , They are what this tank is for. I have 2 new babies.
I think they're cute! They remind me of some salamanders I had when I was a kid. I think they are very unique. Are they amphibians? Or completely aquatic? And congrats on the new babies!!!!
Thanks for your kind and generous nasty comment to a simple question. I asked what an axolot was because I didn't know. I'm not a fan of that ceartue, and I'm entitled to my opinion!!!!
Besides which that animal is hardly a Betta, which is the subject of this forum.
You are entitled to your opinion as am I. I simply asked what an azolot is as I didn't know. I answered with what I felt. I am not a fan of any reptiles and so stated. You are entitled to any pets you desire. But, please don't tell me I must like it because I don't. I also hardly think that axolot specific data is directly applicable to Bette care. However, you are entitled to your opinion.
I stand corrected about the axolot. It seems we had a misunderstanding about my response to the axolot link to the axolot site. My response was NOT intended to be rude. I was brought up to understand that "Not my cup of tea" is simply saying Not for me or I don't care for it. If you misunderstood I apologize.
LOL wooper and mudkip are Both inspired by axolotl ... Which is why one of mine is Mudkip.
Thanks for the help I am seriously thinking about sponge filters all around ( If I get another betta since I can run several sponge filters off one air pump )

Being able to run several filters off 1 pump is awesome. My big pump has 8 spongies running. They are terrific and Ive slowly gotten rid of all HOBs except for my big tanks where I have both. The Axolotl is pretty cute. I may have to get one of those.
Logisticsguy you can follow my thread on my axolotl if you want And Caudata.org is great
I am planning on running 2 of a 20 gallon air pump ... Less plugs make life MUCH easier
