This filter has made a big difference in my shrimp tank. The surface area is excellent for baby shrimp to feed on. The flow is gentle and the sponge doesn’t trap shrimp. I’ve seen more shrimp growth since installing it.
Bella Lee –
Great value for the size. The bacteria thrive and the water stays clean. I didn’t have to clean it often, which is a plus. Works well in a 20-gallon tank.
Mary Vance –
Perfect for breeding. The microorganisms are active and shrimp are always active near the filter. The small PPI design prevents shrimp from getting stuck. Very reliable.
