A good filter that won't disturb bubble nests or create much current?

[Persica]

Okay, I have my lovely boy Persica living in a 5 gallon tank with no other fish, and I was wondering what type of filter would work well for him. I want something that doesn't create much current so he'll be happy with his water. :) Also, I want something that doesn't disturb bubble nests! He had a nice bubble nest made in the fish store, so I know he's going to be quite the nester! And I don't want a filter destroying my boy's artwork. <3 I've been looking into the Tom Mini Internal Filter. Would this be a good one? Any other suggestions?

Any filter should work, i prefer the ones that hang of the lip of the tank. You can always baffle a filter with aquarium sponge and a rubber band. I do that and the water does not move at all since the water from the filter seeps through the sponge. Hope this helps!

Won't baffling the filter result in a filter that gets dirty super fast?

Also, how do you do this?

Baffling, at least if you do it right, doesn't actually reduce the flow of water, it just defuses it so that it seems like it is coming out a lot slower. Right now I have a Hagen filter that is baffled and the surface of the water is completely still!

You just need to buy some aquarium sponge and put it in front of the opening where the water comes out and then use a rubber band to keep it there.

If your not looking for a Hang on Back filter you could always buy a sponge filter and air pump.

Or buy the small Tetra Whisper Filter, designed for 1-2 G tanks..

I have the tom mini filter and it works pretty well and has nice flow options :)
