Is this filter to much for 1 - 1.5 gallon tank?? Would it fit either the 1.1 half moon Tetra tank or theTetra 29050 LED Betta Tank?

I have it in a 1.5 gal glo fish tank. It's a square, 7.5 " tank and the depth is a little under 7". The filter fits it perfectly. The filter that came with it was too small to be useful. This gets good flow and it is a cartridge filter system so they replace easily. I've had 2 of the tetra glo fish and a cory cat for about a year now. They do fine in the tank, I have a small plant in front of it to diffuse the intake some and the fish have been fine. In your question you asked about the half moon. That one I would not recommend due to the shape and space, but a square tank with the filter in either back corner should be fine.

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.

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

the filter does not have any adjustment but i think it would be fine for a betta. depending on the size of the tank. you can also modify the spray bar or use something different if your worried about it.

I would use two for a 5.5 gallon tank. Or pick up a smaller aquaclear filter.

Actually I would go with the Aqueon 06080 QuietFlow 10 Power Filter, (100GPH). It's dimensions are 6.4x6.3x3.8 and will fit your tank. The 06081 has dimensions of 7.4 x 7.9 x 4.4 inches and would not fit. The 06081 has a 125 GPH flow rating. I have both filters for my isolation tanks (if a fish needs quarantined) and the both work well. Also the 06081 uses a large filter and the 06080 uses a medium filter. The 06080 currently is on sale for $8.99 or you can buy it with 12 replacement filters for $25.00. I rinse and reuse the filters several times before changing them. Hope this helps

It's about 5" long and about 1/2" diameter. It will fit in the 1 gallon, but your betta would be much happier in a 5 gallon tank with filter and heater. I had my betta in a 2.5 gallon tank and thought I'd given him a mansion ...lol. I did some research and found out he shouldn't be in less than a 5. BTW, have you heard about the nitrogen cycle (very important for healthy fish). Anyway, more info than you asked for, but I wish somebody told me this when I started.

I replaced the filter with a fluval filter. Yeah, it was strong and dangerous in my opinion. I just sold this tank! It is an awesome tank! More on the fluval mini filter, you can adjust the current. Make sure you can return it because I have found some models of the filter to be noisy.

This filter is round in shape and fits the Tetra Pond Waterfall filter that you can look up on Amazon to get an idea. The filter is designed for this waterfall that filters up to 1000 gal of water. It is approximatey in diameter 18". It is not designed for any other water fall feature unless you want to cut it down to fit something else. I replace this every spring, and rinse with hose to clean during the season. Hope this helps

I used this Finnex for a 20 gallon freshwater fish tank. It was fine at first, but mine did not last very long though. There are Tetra filters at places like Walmart, too, that may be a better choice.

I used the Tetra filter in a 20-gal tank when my yellow-bellied slider was a hatchling for about the first year, but when he got to about 8 inches I had to switch to a larger (75 gal) pond so the only thing that can handle that is the Aquaclear 70 Power Filter I now use. Much less work in keeping the water clear and he loves the swimming space.

I don't know about it dimensionally but this is really made for a 10-20 gallon tank. The force of the water flow might be too great for a tank that small. You need to buy a filter sized for your tank and I've never looked for a 5 gallon filter before. I just googled it and got some results but I don't want to suggest something I haven't tried.

what size tank do you have? turtle filters are supposed to filter at least two times the size of the tank.the 1500 gph should filter a 50 - 100 gallon tank for an aquatic turtle.

The filters are listed "up to 10 Gal tank" so would probably work, but you need to check the dimensions of the box to be sure it would fit on the back of your 5. It is listed at 100 GPH, so 20 complete 5 gal water changes per hr. Dimensions of the filter listed by mfr 6.4" x 3.8" x 6.3" ( 3.8, so you need 6: high and 6"wide to hang it on the tank. Hope that helps

With a divider it would give each of them 5 gallons, but how would you handle the filter? If the divider is POROUS it would be OK. (Like a screen, not glass.) Otherwise the filter will only clean one side of the tank. But it would be quite nice for two bettas with a screen-style divider.

I'm using it for my 125 gal - 6 ft long, turtle tank. I have one Eastern River Cooter about 6-7 inches long. This filter is doing a pretty good job keeping the water clean. I think that the intake is not strong enough to pull in everything on the bottom from all areas of the tank though. I had the intake on the far right side of the tank, and the bottom of the tank on that side looked pretty clean, but the left side not so much. So after cleaning the bottom on the left side, I moved the intake to the left to try to clean up more of the bottom. I guess I'll have to alternative right and left to get all the waste across the bottom. I'm using it for my 125 gal - 6 ft long, turtle tank. I have one Eastern River Cooter about 6-7 inches long.

I've since replaced the tank, but kept the filter. It still works perfectly. I use it for my Betta. It's not too strong for him but it does provide good water and air circulation. The filter takes the Small size Tetra Whisper Bio-Bag Cartridge.

You might be able to use it. That size turtle is a little big for that size tank. I use two of these filters both in the corners and it works fine. You could try one and see how it goes. If needed, get the second one. Personally, I don't change the filters as often as they recommend and I've been using this system for probably at least 6 years.
