Safe, Small, and Powerful Filtration For Your Small Tank

Keep your nano tank healthy and crystal clear with the Pawfly Mini Aquarium Sponge Filter Kit. Specially designed for small environments up to 3 gallons, this compact filtration system provides the perfect balance of mechanical and biological filtration without taking up valuable swimming space.

Whether you are keeping Bettas, ornamental shrimp, or delicate fry, this air-driven filter provides a gentle flow that prevents small inhabitants from being sucked into the intake. The high-density sponge traps floating debris while providing a massive surface area for beneficial bacteria to thrive, ensuring a stable nitrogen cycle for your aquatic pets.

Why Choose the Pawfly Mini Filter?

  • Space-Saving Design: At just a few inches tall, it fits perfectly in desktop bowls, nursery tanks, and nano aquariums.
  • Complete Starter Kit: Comes ready to go with standard airline tubing and a control valve to precisely adjust airflow (air pump sold separately).
  • Safe for fish, shrimp, and fry: The gentle suction makes it the gold standard for shrimp breeders and fry raising.
  • Low Maintenance: Simply squeeze and rinse the sponge in tank water during your regular water changes to keep it performing at its best.

What’s Included:

  1. Mini Sponge Filter: High-grade bio-foam for superior filtration.
  2. Airline Tubing: Flexible, kink-resistant tubing for easy setup.
  3. Air Control Valve: Manage the bubble output to suit your fish’s preference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Does this kit include an air pump?
A: No, the Pawfly Mini Sponge Filter Kit includes the sponge filter, airline tubing, and a control valve. You will need a separate air pump to power the system.
Q: Is this filter safe for baby shrimp and fish fry?
A: Absolutely. The high-density sponge provides gentle suction that prevents tiny shrimp or fry from being trapped, making it the safest filtration choice for breeding and nursery tanks.
Q: How often should I clean the sponge?
A: We recommend cleaning the sponge once every 2–4 weeks. To protect the beneficial bacteria living in the sponge, always rinse it in a container of dechlorinated tank water, never under a tap with hot or chlorinated water.
Q: Can I use this for a Betta fish?
A: Yes! Bettas prefer low-flow environments. By using the included air control valve, you can adjust the bubble output to ensure the surface agitation is gentle enough for your Betta to swim comfortably.
Q: How do I hide the filter in a 1 or 2-gallon tank?
A: Thanks to its ultra-compact size, the Pawfly Mini can easily be tucked behind a piece of driftwood, a rock, or a tall aquatic plant, keeping your nano-scape looking natural.
Q: How often should I replace the sponge entirely?
A: You only need to replace the sponge once it begins to lose its shape or the material starts to degrade, typically every 6 to 12 months.
