Yes this is a great filter I use it in a 5 gallon tank that has a saltwater frog fish that is the size of a apple and he eats live feeder fish and the water stays clear I have had this filter for about a year and it is very quite. I would buy this filter again good luck

yes it will work. But I would get a bigger tank for the Beta' at least a 2.5 gallon. Would you like living in a closet?

Yes, it will work great in a 1.5 gal beta tank, although its a little big for the job.

I'm not sure if it will fit in a 1.5 gallon tank; I have it in a 5 gallon tank and it works great! Here are the dimensions of the filter: 4.2 x 2.4 x 7.8 inches ; 10.4 ounces.

Don't know if the flow from the filter would cause problems. It is still very quiet.

The label suggested to use it on 2 gal and up tank. Either you upgrade your tank or you could try this: test out on the 1 gal tank without the fish in it for 24 hrs to see if the temperature stay within range. A word of advice from someone who made a lots of mistake as a first time betta owner: do it right or you end up spending more money fixing you mistakes and hurts the fish in the process. If you decided to upgrade your tank, then it is better to get a 5 gal. It just so much easier to add on other needed features, such as a heater or filter (personally, I like whisper brand filter), etc..plus, your fish would love the evpxtra space to explore.

Yes you can! I am using it in my 5.5 gallon tank, and many others use it as well. You'll want to get around 1 pound per gallon to have the right depth for your tank.

I bought a Marina C10 Submersible Aquarium Heater, 10W. It works fantasticly. I put it inside the white tube, behide the filtersthere is plenty of room and it fits just right. The temp. stay constant and my betta LOVE this Aquarium.

In this tank, I do about a half-tank change once a month for my betta and it works fine. I have a snail in there that helps keep up with the algae and a moss ball to clean the water, too. There's not an actual filter in this one, just an air stone that I haven't needed to change.

The length is totally fine for a 5 gallon. I will tell you this though...I had to use two of them in my 5 gallon to keep the water at 83 degrees for my betta. My sister also had a 5 gallon with only one of these heaters and hers worked fine. They also work great in a 2 1/2 gallon mini bow front with no problem of it poking out.

Just get one and try it out. I believe the tank will be more than good enough for your tank.

You would need the 5 watt size for a 1.5 gallon tank. This one would be way too warm.

A betta by itself is fine in a 3-gallon. Maybe a snail would be alright, but definitely not the frog because it would produce too much waste for the small tank and the small filter. My tank is home to 1 betta and live plants. I also have a heater because bettas need 80 degrees F water, since they are tropical fish. My 1 betta is very active and always exploring and hiding in the plants.I would google "basic betta care" and "nitrogen cycle" and do a little reading before buying any animals. Remember fish are living beings and will depend on you for your care, so do your best to provide them a good home =) A betta by itself is fine in a 3-gallon.

This *might* work for 2 gallons, but is listed for 1.5, which hopefully would work. I tried this yesterday to heat a 2 gallon tank and it could not get it over 76 degrees, which is not warm enough for a betta, which is what this heater is supposed to be for. I am sticking this one in a closet and using a 50W PetCo brand heater that is meant for 2-10 gallon tanks and has an adjustable temperature.

i know many people say it wouldnt work not enough room but 2 or 3 guppies- as long as water changes are done weekly would do ok .. they actually like current more than bettas .. the filter is very easily adjusted ..

In my 25 gallon tank I have just one 3" fish and for her I break a corner off and drop it in, the water then separates the shrimp and the fish eats them - I also end up with some left over powder & use it for my baby guppies. For a betta I would use just a small piece.

not at all, when using an airpump method with this sponge filter it is perfectly fine for a betta. :D

The flow of water coming out of the top would be too strong for that small of a tank. In a 5 gal tank, the current was too strong for our betta and we had to put a cut water bottle around it to disperse the water flow. It's an excellent filter, but maybe a little too strong for a very small tank.

I'm using it in a 2.5 Gallon with a Betta....it works great! I used it all winter when our house temp. gets down to 65 degrees at night. The tank remained at a steady 80 degrees F. I don't use it in summer because our house stays at around 78. I recommend getting a thermometer as well....

It's a bit weak for a proper 5 gallon tank. Go for the Hydor Theo 25 watt submersible. It has adjustable temperature settings and doesn't cook my snails when they crawl over it.
