I have my new betta, Parli, in a 2.5 gallon heated tank with a live plant. I have a filter, but am loathe to use it since my last betta fish (who was admittedly very sick at the time) got sucked against the filter and died. I suspect the flow was too much for him. Does anyone have recommendations for a very small and gentle filter, yet effective, for a tank this size? I do prefer the filter since I'm a college student and do not have a lot of time. Of course, little Parli is a top priority and I will clean his tank several times a week if I need to, but I would rather minimize large cleanings to once a week with the filter.
The ammonia in the water is safe right now, and upon testing, pH. nitrite, and nitrate are all good. Water alkalinity and hardness are just a speck high.
What filter do you recommend?
What cleaning regimen do you recommend?
