You literally saved my betta. Thank you. I didn’t see any other sources mentioning the tricks you mentioned. I tried the cloth one and it decreased the current so so well. I just need to modify a bit (maybe stitch it with a thread and needle into a tube shape, so it doesn’t open up once in water). But amazing. Thank you. P.S: I have a large tank (7 gallon) but since it came with an already-installed filter, I couldn’t change it or control the flow. So these tricks helped a lot.

Thanks for the idea brother, I tried your method and reduced the output hole by attaching an old pen, unfortunately I think this causes too much back-pressure which pushes water out through the air intake tube as a side-effect ("made a mess on the table" situation)... So, an alternative I found is, at the end of air-intake-tube, we have a provision for opening it, I pop-opened it, I made a cotton ball and stuffed it into it then closed it; and when turned on, was able to reduce the flow pressure as I preffered...
@gurribuy2 жыл бұрын
Thank you bro. But, stuffing the air tube with cotton or any other material only reduces the air intake volume. However, the water flow remains the same. You can verify this by putting you hand in front of the filter output nozzle. But, whatever you did works for you then its great.

sure, use a coarse sponge. It should help the water flow easily.
@shobhitmathur56865 жыл бұрын
Will it help and if yes, can we have this filter outside the tank? Say using two pipes one for bringing in water and other connected to the output with a particle filter (one of those external filters that come with RO) fitted on one of the lines? I have a small tank and have ended up buying a big filter :(

if you reduce the speed then the bubbles will not come out of the filter. If you have a lot of fish in one tank then bubbles are necessary but if you only have 4 or 5 fish then bubbles don't matter much but there should be some water movement inside your tank.

Return it, no need to make any modifications. keep it simple 🙏. Another thing, based on all the ideas you shared, all you are doing is reducing the output flow. which means intake pressure remains the same and Betta wont be able to swim properly, which will stress betta and will eventually result in death. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

You can use any porous sponge. You can also buy the replacement sponge from your local fish store if they stock them. replacement sponge costs about Rs.25 at my local shop. Now, if you want to stop the air flow just close the air input on the power head of your filter.
